The Stooges are inept electricians whose misadventures lead to their dismissal by their employer, Mr. Jordan, after inadvertently electrocuting themselves and their client, "Smilin'" Sam McGann and messing up the wiring.

Prompted by Curly's suggestion for a respite, the trio embark on a retreat to Mallard's Rest Home, enticed by an advertisement promising relaxation.

In a series of comedic escapades, the Stooges outmaneuver their captors, albeit with Moe and Larry briefly trapped in a steam room.

Two special effects in the film were achieved as follows: a smoke tube was hidden in Larry's hand when he feels Curly's burning forehead, and compressed air pipes were used to blow Moe's hair upwards.

[2] 42-year-old Curly Howard had suffered a series of minor strokes in early 1945, and his performances had become marred by slurred speech and slower timing.
