Spoilers ahead
Three bungling performers, the Stooges—Larry, Moe, and Curly—work as handymen at radio station KGBY, where a routine repair to connect a pipe to a radiator spirals into chaos. Their antics trigger a confrontation with their boss and set off a cascade of mishaps that irritate a neighboring Italian baritone and pianist, a tension that adds a sharp edge to the day. Seeking refuge, they stumble into the recording room of aspiring singer Alice Van Doren and serendipitously discover her record, Voices of Spring. Impressed by her operatic power, the trio hatches a plan: Curly disguises himself and imitates her voice, hoping to spark attention on the air. The ploy draws the eye of radio host Mrs. Bixby, who hires them for a live performance.
