STORY: Tired of prospecting, the "Stooges" can hardly wait to get back to "Home Sweet Home," a little shack in the city dump, only to find it inhabited. Inside they find a small boy at the table, who they promptly tell to go find his own place, until they discover that he is a cripple and orphaned, living with his sister. Outside looking in the dump for a tire for their car, they find a can full of money ($62). It was the money Jimmy and "Sis" are saving for his leg operation, so he can walk like other boys. They only need five hundred dollars. The Boys (stooges) take the money to the bank, so Jimmy can earn interest, but leave when they learn that it will take one hundred years, six months and seventeen days to earn $500. A couple of swindlers sell them a map for Captain Kidd's Treasure, for $62 and their car. They wind up blasting their way into the United States Treasury. After their arrest, the president gives them clemency and Jimmy gets his operation.
