The Stooges awake one morning to their mother's cry, "Now that I'm old, your father has divorced me!" The newspaper article states that their father ([[Shemp Howard]], pulling double duty as both himself and his father) has just become rich via an oil well, has divorced, and that very day will marry a young, gold-digging blonde named Daisy ([[Connie Cezon]]). The Stooges set off to try and stop the [[wedding]]. But since Shemp and his father look exactly alike, Daisy ends up marrying the wrong man. In the finale of the short, the Stooges manage to escape the clutches of the criminals trying to kill them for their father's oil money, and rescue their father. |

Despite these adversities, the Stooges demonstrate resourcefulness and fortitude, ultimately rescuing their father from imminent danger. |
