Moe, Larry and Curly are defense workers during WWII who come home from the job for a well deserved dinner. During their "rationed" meal Curly breaks his tooth eating a ham bone that Moe allocated to him in during an unfair meal allotment. The remainder of the episode consists of a "dream sequence" where Moe makes multiple attempts to pull the broken tooth. These efforts are predictably fruitless and simply irritate Curly even more. Eventually, Curly is forced to go to the dentist but gets the last laugh when the dentist pulls Moe's tooth by mistake while Moe was sitting in the chair trying to reassure a terrified Curly. Ultimately, Curly awakes from his dream and his problem is rectified when Moe punches him in the jaw knocking out the damaged tooth and allowing the boys to get back to sleep. 1943
