16 min. (Short Subject)
The Stooges are exterminators who have no luck getting a decent job. They decide to fill a high society mansion with moths, mice and ants. Arriving at the now-infested house and are hired to exterminate the pests, in the midst of a party. Naturally, any society party with the Stooges is a recipe for disaster, and a pie fight quickly becomes the likely outcome.
A remake of ANTS IN THE PANTRY (1936). Much of the pie fight footage is taken from IN THE SWEET PIE AND PIE (1941) and HALF-WITS HOLIDAY (1947).
