SYN: The Stooges are used chariot dealers in Egypt who unload a real lemon on King Rootentootin's Chief of the Palace Guards. Needless to say, he's not too happy about the transaction and quickly returns to the lot to get a full refund only to find that the boys have conveniently closed their doors to business for the day. After breaking through the fence, he finds the Stooges splitting their profits on the sale. He seizes the boys and brings them before the King to seek the death penalty. The King, however, sets them free when they (out of sheer luck) fix the King's incessant toothache. Then, when the boys thwart the Prime Minister's plot to steal all of the taxpayer's money, the King offers them the hand of his favorite daughter. It turns out, however, that she has the face of an old goat. Moe and Larry, select to step back leaving Shemp to be the "volunteering" unlucky groom.

Quick Hits:

- Did you know that many of the Columbia background players from the supporting cast, graduated to speaking roles. Suzanne Ridgeway, here pouring wine for the King, was one such player.
