SYN:
As plumbers, the Stooges are summoned
to the Norfleet mansion to recover a valuable diamond ring which slipped
down a wash basin. Instead the Stooges wreak havok on the house by
destroying the existing plumbing and creating more problems with the
house than existed when they first arrived. This is really nothing
new with the Stooges, neither is a pie fight, which is how this short
ends, a massive splat-fest.
