In the Sweet Pie and Pie

Tiska, Taska, and Baska Jones, three assertive society women, find themselves the recipients of a substantial inheritance contingent upon their marital status by a specified deadline. However, their intended fiancés are unable to comply due to their deployment to Honolulu with the Fleet. Advised by their astute lawyer, Diggins, the women devise a scheme to secure their inheritance by marrying three condemned inmates known as the Mushroom Murder Gang, portrayed by the Stooges. Upon marriage to the convicts, the women anticipate collecting their inheritance, following which the inmates will be executed, allowing the women to proceed with their original engagements.

The Stooges, now wed to the Jones sisters, face an imminent execution by hanging at Hang-em'-all Prison. However, a last-minute reprieve arrives, absolving them of guilt in the Mushroom murders, thereby securing their freedom. As the Jones sisters revel in their newfound status as widows, the Stooges assert their presence in the women's household, much to the dismay of the sisters.

Subsequently, the Jones sisters endeavor to manipulate their new husbands into conforming to high society norms, believing the Stooges to be ill-equipped for such refinement. Yet, the Stooges, recognizing the jeopardy of their marital status, diligently strive to meet the expectations imposed upon them. Despite the sisters' efforts, their social gathering is marred by chaos orchestrated by the Stooges, with Diggins's attempt to discredit Moe backfiring.

Facing Diggins's threat of annulment, the Jones sisters defy his influence and choose to retain their marriages to the Stooges. In a display of solidarity, the guests, along with the Stooges, retaliate against Diggins by subjecting him to a pie-filled retribution.
