Released April 01, 1938
Featuring Moe, Larry and Curly
Columbia
17.1 min. (Short Subject)

The Stooges are employed as maintenance men in an office building. Curly has a phobia about tassels, and goes crazy whenever he sees one; the only thing that calms him down is to tickle his chin with a brush. After trying to teach Curly how to speak pig latin, Moe is mistaked for one of the building's tenants (a decorator named Omay), and the Stooges are hired to redecorate Mrs. Smirch's home.

This short was a partial reworking of Charley Chase's LUNCHEON AT TWELVE (1933). The gags of painting an antique table and a cuckoo clock were reused in A SNITCH IN TIME (1950).
