Wealthy Ajax Bullion finds himself in a predicament when his eccentric wife expresses a desire to adopt a refugee, prompted by the prevailing socio-political climate. Meanwhile, Ajax grapples with a severe toothache, prompting his wife to insist he visit the dentist while she prepares for the nursery.
Simultaneously, The Stooges are engaging in their occupation as window washers on a tall building's scaffold. Following a mishap involving a bucket of water splashing into a dentist's office, the irate dentist threatens termination. Instructed by Moe, the Stooges are then tasked with drying the wet floor. Ajax encounters the Stooges, mistaking them for interim dentists. In an attempt to alleviate his suffering, the Stooges inadvertently knock him unconscious and proceed to extract his bridge-work. The ensuing efforts to reinsert the bridge with cement go awry, prompting them to resort to dynamite. The dentist returns just as the dynamite is ignited, compelling the Stooges to flee, leaving Mr. Bullion unharmed but oblivious to the dental intervention.
Capitalizing on the situation, Mr. Bullion concocts a scheme to exploit the Stooges as pseudo-refugee children, aiming to dissuade his wife from her philanthropic aspirations. The Stooges, now dressed as toddlers, endure a comical adoption by Mrs. Bullion, with Moe, Curly, and Larry assuming the names Johnny, Frankie, and Mabel, respectively.
As the Stooges integrate into the Bullion household, their antics and disruptive behavior during a party organized by Mrs. Bullion lead to regret on her part. Simultaneously, Mr. Bullion, initially complicit in the scheme, finds himself frustrated by the Stooges' continuous interference, including the theft of his cigars and wine. The culmination of chaos prompts Mr. Bullion to chase the Stooges out of the house wielding an axe.
