This short starts off with Larry, Moe, and Curly in their apartment room quarters holding their script sheets as they have their backs to the camera and are getting ready to rehearse their lines.
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is giving Curly a look of wonder as we also see Larry standing there with a dazed look on his face as Moe is saying to Curly): "We'll pick it up again from page nine!"
MOE and LARRY: (In unison as they are turning around slowly with devilish looks on their faces as they are looking at Curly and are saying): "Ah, ha, slowly we turn, step by step, inch by inch!"
As Moe and Larry are crouched over rehearsing their lines with looks of puzzlement on their faces as Curly is walking backwards, (his part of the script), with a look of mischievous pain on his face.
We now hear some people dancing in the apartment room quarters above them, and are loosining the plaster on Curly, Larry, and Moe's ceiling. Curly, Larry, and Moe are now mad as they are throwing their script sheets to the floor.
MOE to CURLY and LARRY: (In a really mad mood as Larry is standing there with a mad look on his face and is rubbing plaster powder off of his face and Curly is jumping up and down in madness as he is saying, 'Hunh, hunh, hunh, hunh, hunh, hunh,' as Curly is also rubbing plaster powder from his face as Moe is shouting madly): "There it goes again, for the fifth time!"
LARRY to MOE and CURLY: (As Larry is using hand gestures to support madness as he has a mad look on his face says): "The minute we get to that inch by inch line, something always happens."
We now see Curly getting hit in the head as the hanging lamp fixture comes crashing down from the impact of the dancing.
CURLY to LARRY and MOE: (As the fixture has now hit Curly in the head and Curly has his hands in fists and a hurt look on his face says in madness): "That's the last straw!"
MOE to CURLY: (As we now see Larry, Moe, and Curly standing there with looks of madness on their faces as Moe says to Curly): "Come on, we're going upstairs and kill those guys who have been ruining our rehearsals, let's go!"
CURLY to MOE: (In a state of madness as he has a mad look on his face says): "You said it!"
We now see Curly picking up a baseball bat and is swinging it in madness as he has now hit Moe hard in the face and Moe is jumping back in pain. Larry is also standing there with his hand on his face as he also has a hurt look on his face.
CURLY to MOE and LARRY: (In a full state of madness): "While I'll get up there and give them the...... and I'll......"
Larry is standing behind Moe with a really hurtful look on his face as Moe is now staggering and regaining his balance as Moe is now approaching Curly with a mad look on his face as Moe is taking the baseball bat from Curly.
MOE to CURLY: (In a really mad state as Moe makes his hand into a fist and says): "See that?"
Curly is now looking at Moe's fist as Moe hits Curly hard on the forehead with the baseball bat.
Curly is now jumping back and is rubbing his head in pain and is saying, 'Eeem, eeem, eeem, eeem, eeem, eeem'.
LARRY to MOE: (As Larry is now in a full blown state of mischief as Larry makes his hand into a fist and says laughing): "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, see this?"
MOE to LARRY: (As Moe is in a full state of madness says as he hits Larry in the face hard with the baseball bat): "Go on!"
We now see Larry falling backwards as he is rubbing his face in pain as well with Curly who is also rubbing his face in pain. Moe is now in a state of madness is turning Curly around as he is shoving both Larry and Curly to the door.
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is madly turning him around says): "Come on!"
We now see Larry, Moe, and Curly exiting their apartment room quarters and are on their way to have a tit-for-tat with the 'gentlemen' upstairs. As Curly was exiting he had hit his face on the doorway well.
CURLY to LARRY and MOE: (As Curly is now rubbing his face once again in pain and is shouting to Larry and Moe): "Oh, where are ya, hey wait for me."
We now see Larry, Curly, and Moe in the hallway, in front of the apartment room quarters of the 'dancers' that have been interrupting their act.
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is pointing at their door, as we hear music playing, with Larry and Curly standing behind him in states of madness as Moe says): "This is it!"
CURLY to MOE: (As Curly is pushing up his sleeves in madness says): "I'll show those mugs!"
LARRY to CURLY and MOE: (As Larry is now in a full state of madness as he is stepping in front of Curly states): "Let me at them."
MOE to CURLY and LARRY: (As Moe is giving both of them looks of madness says): "Quiet! I'll handle this, I'll break their necks, I'll bash their noses in, and if there's a big, muscular guy in there you handle him!" (Moe was looking at Curly when he said that).
CURLY to MOE: (In response to Moe's statement): " 'Unhn, unhn, unhn, unhn, unhn, unhn'."
We now see Moe opening their apartment room quarters door in madness as Curly and Larry are following in.
MOE to CURLY and LARRY: (As Moe is now opening their door in madness and is walking in says): "Come on!"
Larry, Curly, and Moe are now in the apartment room quarters of the 'dancers' as they are giving each other looks of dismay.
We now see the 'dancers' who are three very pretty young ladies instead of three burly and mean gentlemen.
We are now back on Larry, Curly, and Moe as we see them smiling in glee as they have now discovered that the 'tap dancers' are beautiful ladies. The ladies are doing a chorse line style of a tap dance, where we see the middle lady being supported by the other two ladies as she is doing a forward cartwheel.
As the ladies are doing their dance we now see Curly, Larry, and Moe standing in the entrance way to their apartment room quarters with looks of happiness on their faces as they are swaying to and fro in the rhythm to the music and the dance steps.
CURLY to MOE: (As Curly is in a state of happiness as we see Moe and Larry standing there smiling from ear to ear enjoying the performance): "Gee, that's a swell number, I wonder what the name of it is?"
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is really happily involved with the girls dancing as Larry is also smiling and enjoying the dancing still swaying with the rhythm of the music says to Curly quietly): "I don't know!"
Curly is now at the phonograph record player as he is spinning his head in circles trying to read the name of the record. Curly is now approaching Moe still spinning his head in a state of dizziness as Moe is spinning his hand in circles and then he hits Curly on the head. Then Moe is now taking his fingers and is spinning them around in circles trying to pose them at Curly's eyes which he has as Moe is now giving Curly an eyepoke. Moe is now grabbing Curly by the shoulders and is pinning him up against their door as Moe gives Curly's coconut one last konk before Moe exits.
LARRY to CURLY: (As Curly is yelping in pain, 'oow, oow, oow, oow, oow, oow,' as Larry is putting his finger up to his lips and is whispering to Curly): "S-S-S-S-S-S-H-H-H-H-H-H!"
The ladies are now completing their dancing act as they are now clapping their hands and are dancing backwards and doing in unison a forward cartwheel. The ladies are now coming to an abrupt hault in their dancing practice as they back up a tad and say in fright. "Hah!"
The ladies are now standing in front of Larry, Curly, and Moe with their hands on their waists and are giving them looks of madness.
MIDDLE LADY to CURLY, LARRY, and MOE: (As she is shouting at them madly): "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
LARRY to the LADIES: (As Larry has a mischievous, sheepish look on his face and is looking at the floor quickly then up to the ladies says): "Well, we came up to break your neck!"
We now see the ladies pushing up their shirt sleeves in madness as they are getting ready to brawl with Larry, Curly, and Moe.
MAD LADIES to CURLY, LARRY, and MOE: (In full blown madess): "Oh, yeah!"
CURLY to the LADIES: (As Curly is tapping the blonde lady on her arm and says with a look of happy mischief on his face): "Wait a minute, that's before we saw ya!"
MOE to the LADIES: (As Moe is looking at them in a carrying state as he is politely explaining to them about their rude break in to their apartment room quarters): "You see, we live in the room below, we were rehearsin' our act but you were dancing and......"
CURLY to the LADIES: (As Curly is now pointing to his head): "The chandelier hit me in the head!"
BLONDE LADY to CURLY: (As she is looking at Curly's head and says to him in a state of apology): "Oh, what an awful lump!"
We now see the ladies with looks of apology on their faces as Larry has given Moe a quick glance of dismay as Larry has now turned and is looking at Curly in a hurtful state.
CURLY to the BLONDE LADY: (As Curly is now rubbing his head and has a look of mischief on his face says laughing): "Ha, ha, that's no lump, that's my head!"
The ladies now have looks of happiness on their faces as they are smiling happily at Larry, Curly, and Moe. Larry, Curly, and Moe are now smiling happily back at the ladies.
BLONDE LADY to CURLY: (As she is smiling at him in a state of sorriness says in reference to all three): "We're sorry!"
CURLY to the BLONDE LADY: (As he has his hands in his pockets and is smiling at her sweetly says): "I'm glad, or otherwise we wouldn't of met!"
We are now seeing the formal introduction of The Stooges to The Ladies.
MOE: (Laughing as he is pointing to himself says): "Ha, ha, I'm Moe."
LARRY: (As he is also smiling in glee and is holding his hands says): "I'm Larry."
CURLY: (As he is standing there smiling from ear to ear as he is rubbing his head says joyfully as he is now clapping his hands and snapping his fingers on his chin): "I'm Curly."
The ladies are now laughing and smiling with glee at Larry, Curly, and Moe. The middle lady is now introducing them to Moe, Larry, and Curly.
MIDDLE LADY to MOE, CURLY, and LARRY: (In a happy manner says): "Moe, Larry, and Curly, meet Mary, (she is now pointing to the brunette lady on her right), Shirley, (she is pointing to the blonde lady on her right), and Flo which is herself.
We now see the ladies and the boys taking hold of each others hands and shaking them in friendship as they are saying to one another: "How do you do!"
As Flo, Mary, and Shirley are shaking hands with Larry, Curly, and Moe, they are saying in cross-unison "Hello, how are you? glad to meet you!"
CURLY to SHIRLEY: (As Curly is now saying to Shirley in a very sweet manner): "Oh boy, someone's gonna get married, I hope!"
Curly is now holding Shirley's arm and is patting it in a loving and gentle manner as he is looking at her with loving and carrying eyes as she is now looking back at Curly with a really sweet and loving look on her face.
We now see Curly with Shirley, Larry with Flo, and Moe with Mary as they are looking at on another with 'goo-goo' eyes and sweet and carrying looks on their faces.
MOE to MARY: (As Moe is looking at her sweetly says): "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,"
We now see Moe, Larry, and Curly standing their with their combs and are primping up themselves as the girls are now smiling sweetly at them. Curly has now finished combing his 'hair' as he has now 'barked' at his comb and Shirley has finished straightening up Curly's tie.
MARY to MOE: (In a serious state says): "So, you boys are actours, what kind of an act do you do?"
CURLY to MARY: (In a state of mischief as he is smiling says): "Oh sorta, kinda, of our own like!"
LARRY to MARY: (In a state of seriousness): "It's very dramatic!"
MOE to FLO, MARY, and SHIRLEY: (As Moe is using hand gestures to support his opening sentence): "There's alot of talk that goes on ahead, but, there's one spot that has to be timed just right, it's the most important thing in the act, we'll show ya!"
MOE to CURLY and LARRY: (As Moe is pointing a finger at Curly and Larry says): "Come on, boys!"
We now see Larry, Curly, and Moe taking their script sheets from their back trousers pockets as they are now getting ready to show the ladies a portion of their act. The ladies are now watching Moe, Curly, and Larry in happiness.
Moe, Larry, and Curly are now holding their script sheets as they are looking at them and are standing in front of the ladies bathing room quarters.
MOE to CURLY and LARRY: (In a very serious manner says): "Start on page nine!'
LARRY to MOE: (In reference to Moe's statement); "Page nine!"
MOE and LARRY: (In unison): "Ah, ha, slowly we turn, step by step, inch by inch!"
As Larry and Moe are doing their walking routine to go with their lines, Curly is now slowly backing up as his part, but Curly has now backed up too far and has fallen into the bathing tub full of water.
MOE to CURLY: (As Curly is sitting in the bathing tub and Moe and Larry are looking at him madly): "You, Numbskull!"
LARRY to CURLY: (As Larry is waving his script sheet at Curly and is yelling at him madly): "Yeah, if we ever get past that inch by inch line, maybe the set will be something!'
MOE to CURLY: (As both Moe and Larry have now thrown their script sheets down on the floor): "What are ya sittin' in there for?"
CURLY to MOE: (With his hands on the sides of the bathing tub as he is looking at Moe in mischief says): "So, it shouldn't be a total loss, I'm taking a bat!"
MOE to LARRY: (As Moe is using hand gestures to support himself and has a mad look on his face says): "A bat!?"
CURLY to MOE and LARRY: (As Curly is still sitting in the bathing tub with a dumbfounded look on his face says): "Yeah!"
MOE to CURLY: (With a dazed look on his face says): "Move over!"
We now see Moe and Larry joining Curly in the ladies bathing tub fully clothed as they are taking some bathing scrub brushes off the wall and are happiling singing and bathing.
LARRY to MOE: (In a happy state): "Yeah, we'll all take a bath."
MOE to LARRY: (In a state of happy mischief says): "Get on the other side."
LARRY to MOE: (In a state of mischief and is mumbling): "Oh, all right, all right."
MOE to CURLY: (As we see Moe squishing Curly and Larry with a brush in his hand says to Curly): "Give me the soap, kid!"

MOE to CURLY: (As Curly is singing happily and Moe is approaching Curly and is now scrubbing Curly's head says): "Come over here."
LARRY to MOE: (In a serious but yet slightly mischievous manner as Larry is washing his arms says): "Wanna scrub my back please, my whole back."
LARRY to MOE: (In a slight state of madness): "The back, the back, not the head, the back."
We now see Larry, Curly, and Moe sitting in the bathing tub totally happy. Curly is singing as he is wiping down his head and face with his hands. Larry has a bathing sponge in his hand and is happily washing his face with it and is squirting some water up the wall with it. Moe has his bathing scrub brush and is happily scrubbing his backe and head and then he reaches over and gives Larry's back a few more good scrubbings, and then Moe reaches over and gives Curly's head a few more final scrubbings.
LARRY to CURLY and MOE: (In a state of happiness as he is bathing); "Yeah, yeah, gotcha, gotcha."
