The Stooges play Ted Healy's children, and they're giving him a hard time about going to sleep. He tries singing a comic version of The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, but it doesn't help. Ted's date "The Good Fairy" (Bonnie Bonnell) tells them her own bedtime story, courtesy of a musical revue.
The team's first musical comedy, and the first of two experimental 2-strip Technicolor shorts they made with MGM, billed as Colortone Musical Revues. Color was used as a means to match the musical numbers, footage from earlier MGM Technicolor feature film productions. The Woman in the Shoe originates from the MGM musical LORD BYRON OF BROADWAY (1930), and The Turn of a Fan from the unreleased THE MARCH OF TIME (1930). See articles in The Three Stooges Journal # 52 (Winter 1989) and The Three Stooges Journal # 63 (Fall 1992).
