The Sitter Downers

Plot

The Stooges are suitors who go on a sitdown strike at their fiancees' home when their prospective father-in-law (James C. Morton) refuses to consent the marriages. The strike wins them fame and they receive numerous gifts from fans, including a lot and materials for a house via the United States Housing Authority. The father-in-law calls up the government to have the Stooges arrested and taken out of his house, but the government can't do anything about it. The father-in-law eventually gets fed up and allows the Stooges to marry his daughters to end their strike.

The newly married couples soon arrive at their donated house lot, but realize that their new home is prefab and they must build it themselves. Their wives decree that they will have no honeymoon until the Stooges finish the job. Now mad at their nagging wives, they get to work anyway. Eventually they do finish building the house, though in a poorly constructed fashion, including a flight of stairs that goes nowhere and a bathtub mounted to a wall. The wives are impressed, but as one of them pushes a loose board out of her way, the entire roof ends up crashing on top of all of them.
