Two wealthy professors, one who thinks that heredity determines class, and the other that environment does, make a $10,000 dollar wager over whether three men, picked at random off the street, can be turned into gentlemen in just three months; at which point Larry, Curley, and Moe enter their sphere to predictably chaotic effect, in this thoroughly enjoyable Three Stooges short.
