SYN:
Exterminators Moe, Larry, and
Shemp defeat pests with style and drama. So it's no wonder that they
are mistaken by movie studio head J.B. Fletcher for three bigwig Hollywood
publicity agents sent to boost the career of glamorous starlet Dolly
Devore. The Stooges' plan for Dolly is ingenious: fake her kidnapping
to make front-page news, then rescue her to the delight of a worried
public. The idea sounds foolproof utnil Dolly actually is kidnapped
by crooks, who demand $10,000 for her return. The Stooges trace Dolly
to the Clinton Arms Hotel, where they succeed in trouncing the crooks
and saving the day for millions of motion picture fans.
