The Stooges are stowaways aboard a boxcar bound for Hollywood, envisioning themselves as future movie stars without merit.

Upon trespassing into a movie studio, they are mistaken for executives poised to assume control, granting them unwarranted authority over film production.

Their tenure begins on a tumultuous note when Curly's misstep with a match disturbs a silent film star, prompting the departure of key personnel and leaving the trio to assume acting roles themselves.

Their charade unravels when genuine executives arrive, exposing the trio's ruse and instigating a pursuit by the studio and crew.

Fleeing their pursuers, the Stooges find themselves in a precarious encounter with lions, leading to a chaotic escapade as they attempt to evade danger in a runaway car.
