Hitmen Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega retrieve a stolen briefcase for mobster Marsellus Wallace, and from their showdown with the inept thieves, the rest of their day intertwines with other characters. Vincent is asked by Marsellus to look after girlfriend Mia while he's out of town, leading to a cocaine overdose involving drug dealer Lance. Washed-up boxer Butch Coolidge doublecrosses Marsellus, and not only doesn't he throw the fight, he kills Marsellus' man. Sociopaths Ringo and Yolanda hold up a diner, where Jules and Vincent are eating breakfast. Butch and Marsellus have a showdown, but circumstances forge them into uneasy allies. These storylines all come together to define the fates of the characters.
When Mia overdoses, Vincent rushes her to Lance's home. Lance is watching BRIDELESS GROOM (1947), and during a few minutes of the sequence, the Three Stooges continues to be seen/heard in the background. Emil Sitka and Doris Houck can be seen on the TV in a couple clips, and audio clips include the voices of Shemp, Dee Green, and Emil's classic "Hold hands you lovebirds."
