Spoilers ahead
In this short, Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard star as inept professional carpenters who unexpectedly take charge of a small-town drugstore when its proprietor departs to seal a big alcohol purchase now that Prohibition has ended. Left alone, the trio tries to keep the shop running while a curious customer asks for an alcoholic “pick-me-up”—a request that sets off a chain of comic miscalculations. Hoping to satisfy the patron, they improvise a potent brew from a curious mix of medicines and chemicals, poured into a Wellington boot. The resulting concoction, astonishingly strong, is capable of dissolving a wicker chair used as a sieve, yet the customer drinks it and mistakes it for Scotch.
