The party does not go well Curly pulls Moes jacket threads until it splits. Moe then hijacks Curlys oversized jacket. Larry and Moe dance with stomped feet and bumps galore. Curly, as usual, gets most of the faux pas he shaves in front of a guest he gets stuck on a spittoon he picks a maraschino cherry from a punch bowl he hides a bottle of champagne, which Moe sees. Frustrated, Moe kicks Curly in the pants, resulting in the champagne popping open and spraying a guest.Eventually, Professor Richmond loses the bet and gives the 10,000 dollars to Professor Nichols. Nichols in turn makes a comment to a lady guest concerning being pestered by a bunch of rowdies. The remark does not go over well with her, and she slaps him in the face. Professor Richmond laughs, and the unfortunate fellow slaps him in turn. In quick succession, guests laugh at other guests misfortunes, and slaps and gouges fly until the party becomes a melee of Stoogeborn slapstick. The Stooges, disgusted by it all, realize that this is what they get for associating themselves with the hoi polloi and decide to leave, but Richmond and Nichols get the last laugh on them via champagne bottles crashed onto their heads. ........
