Plot

The Stooges are unsuccessful fish salesmen in San Diego. After becoming fed up with it all, they decide go into the saloon business but accidentally purchase a salon in the sleepy village of Cucaracha, Mexico. Undaunted, the trio try their hand at giving a customer (Dorothy Appleby) a mud pack using, natural, real mud. After chiseling the cement off her face, the boys scalp three other Mexican beauties before having their bottoms shot full of holes.
