[edit] Plot
The Stooges are office cleaners, and have just finished moving furniture and assorted items into the office of a detective. Shemp fantisizes about the exciting life of a private eye, when a beautiful blonde rushed in begging for help. While the Stooges search the hallways, she quickly scribbles a note and is captured by a mysterious figure. The Stooges follow her note to a dark house on Mortuary Road where an evil scientist is building an army of robot men to take over the world. Fanning out to search, Shemp finds the girl tied up and gagged in a curtained alcove at the end of the main hallway. The scientist and his evil assistant then try to dispose of the Stooges, but the Stooges overcome the odds and escape with the girl in a car driven by one of the scientist's robots.
