Following an altercation with a shopkeeper, the Stooges seek refuge in a revolving door, emerging with clipboards in hand, assuming their new roles as census takers.
Their first assignment leads them to the home of a socialite, where they unwittingly disrupt a bridge game by inadvertently adding Alum salt to a punch bowl, causing comedic chaos as everyone's lips pucker.
Undeterred, the Stooges press on in their census-taking endeavor, stumbling upon a football game where they attempt to interview the players.
In a bid to retrieve the ball and glean information, they resort to a chaotic sequence of events involving ice cream and a frenzied chase, ultimately fleeing the stadium pursued by the irate football team.
This is a reference to an event in 1939 when Franklin Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving to an earlier Thursday in November to lengthen the Christmas shopping season.
