The Three Stooges are gypped out of their inheritance by Icabod Slipp, crooked lawyer. The Boys follow Slipp onto a train and corner him, but not before they let a lion loose on the train.

The stooges are tailors, and are heavily in debt to the Skin & Flint finance company. When the boys read about the big reward for a fugitive robber, they think it could be the answer to their problems. The bank robber conveniently ducks into their shop and leaves a suit with a safe combination. After his girl friend fails to retrieve it, the robber returns with gang and a wild fight ensues. The boys miss out on the reward but wind up with the crook's bankroll and can pay their creditors.
