Two high society professors argue over which influence molds gentlemen. One claims environment is the keystone to social distinction, the other asserts that heredity is the backbone of social life. They pick on nearby trash men (the Stooges) to prove their theory. After spending months in training, the Stooges attend an elegant dinner party, ultimately disproving BOTH professors' theories.
Some filmed but deleted scenes are presented in The Three Stooges Journal # 127 (Fall 2008).
The plot was adapted for HALF-WITS HOLIDAY (1947), which was remade as PIES AND GUYS (1958). HOI POLLOI's party scenes were redone in HAVE ROCKET WILL TRAVEL (1959).
This film was adapted in The Three Stooges # 1 comic book, Jubilee Publications Feb. 1949.
