Storyline

The stooges are bumbling electricians who decide to go away for a rest after they are fired for their incompetence. The rest home they choose is run by Dr. Mallard, a quack who gyps the patients for everything they've got. When the boys discover the crooked goings on they escape, but not before Curly accidentally cures another patient who rewards him with a thousand dollars. Written by Mitch Shapiro <mshapiro@a.crl.com>

[hands Smiling Sam McGann a wire with the end stripped, McGann holds it and gets electrocuted]
Smiling Sam McGann: Ohhh! Ow! Ohhhhhh! Ow!
