The Stooges are small-time actors and stage hands. They are told by by their boss to keep out a notorious drama critic who has been trashing the company's shows. The Stooges disguise themselves so well that Moe and Shemp mistake Larry for the critic, and they whale the tar out of him before discovering their mistake. Of course the critic enters in the meantime. But the Stooges save the day, when an errant potholder cooked into a cake for the play's climatic scene causes them to cough up feathers and make it a comedy hit!
