The Plot\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Curly wins $50,000 in a radio contest, the boys begin living like millionaires.\u00a0 Fine clothes, BIG cigars and a room at Hotel Costa Plente.\u00a0 Unfortunately the boys realize they’re in hot water when the winning check after taxes comes to $4.85.\u00a0 They’ll end up in jail if they can’t pay their hotel bill and it’s huge.\u00a0 Luckily the boys discover four rich widows are in the room down the hall.\u00a0 What could go wrong?<\/p>\n

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s a fun set-up scene before Curly wins the radio contest.\u00a0 Moe and Larry are playing poker for pancakes.\u00a0 Curly is cooking ’em as fast as Moe is losing.\u00a0 Could Larry be cheating?<\/p>\n

The plot twist of the women needing money and hoping to marry three rich men just as our boys need to marry three rich ladies is a good one.\u00a0 Plus the writers through in a monkey for good measure.<\/p>\n

Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb <\/strong><\/em>earns 4 of 5 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n
