The Plot…

Larry, Curly and Moe are carpenters who accidently destroy a priceless antique cabinet.  The owner of the antique vows revenge.  Once away from the danger, our guys learn that they’ve inherited a designer dress boutique.  Our guys as fashion designers?  Why not?

They are hired to put on a fashion show by a rich woman.  During the event they realize that the woman’s husband is the man who owned the priceless antique that they destroyed!  What could go wrong?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Slipper Silks features the Stooges’ first pie/pastry fight.  Actually one pie is thrown and the rest are cream puffs.

When the owner of the priceless cabinet asks, “Are you sure this work will be in competent hands?” Curly responds, “Soitenly, we’re all incompetent.”
