Howard Morris canvases employees at a movie studio, to sign them up for U.S. Payroll Savings Bonds. The Stooges appear as themselves.
Trivia: the Stooges' bit was filmed on I DREAM OF JEANNIE's soundstage... specifically, their scene takes place on a partial set used as Maj. Nelson's (Larry Hagman) patio on that television series
Missing from most prints, the short ends with a 1-3/4 minute address by Vice-President Hubert Humphrey
