Their first candidate is a spirited young woman named Miss Dinkelmeyer. However, things don't go quite as planned, and Miss Dinkelmeyer ends up attacking all three Stooges with a mop. They move on to the next candidate, a woman named Miss Hopkins. She initially seems like a perfect match, but when the Stooges tell her that Shemp is bald, she changes her mind and decides she doesn't want to marry him.

As the clock ticks down, the Stooges become increasingly desperate. They try to convince a group of women at a department store to marry Shemp, but they all turn him down. They even try to disguise Shemp as a woman, but when that doesn't work, they decide to resort to more extreme measures.

In the end, they come up with a plan to hypnotize Shemp into thinking that he is married to a beautiful woman named Mary. Of course, things don't go as planned, and chaos ensues. Shemp ends up making a fool of himself in front of his potential bride, and the Stooges are left to clean up the mess.
