It was April 1940, Charley went to a baseball game with Vernon and Monte Collins. Marla had a telegram about eight teenage boys expelled from several schools and exiled New York.

Marla told Keith, John Ayers, Randy Cross and Fred Quillan about the teenage boys, and the kids without Buckwheat, who was sick, and including Leonard, had dinner with them. Marla told the boys to put the cigar down.

Marla was with Ron Bouchard as Janet Burston sings "Tippy Tin," and two months later on June 20, Charley denies seeing Mary, who was played by Iris Meredith.

Marla also had a telegram about Charley and Mary's eloping, and Buddy was working in his own race car to race in Nashville for the next month or so. The kids had a movie, but Waldo ran out of film, and Froggy denies drinking lemonade. Max Davidson had opened his antique store as the Stooges showed up. Curly threw the pot, and Max told the policeman to get them, but was arrested. Charley, Mary and Bud were in the water, Charley had a heart attack, and died.

Vernon (not seen) called Marla on the phone about Charley's death, and Marla told Robert, Ted Musgrave and Rick Crawford about Charley. The next day, Marla was a lawyer and corrected the woman's last name of Throckmorton after the man said the wrong last name. Marla told the Stooges about Max's antique store, the Stooges exited the courthouse, Bud punched Curly's face, and they escaped again. Monte is a magician, and Bud and two more guys arrested the Stooges.

Dwight Clark and Russ Francis were watching the re-runs of Fantasy Island where Freddy Weller was the guest in this show.

Monte was outside at the woman's house, he opens the door and sees Skinny, Scruno and Marla talking at the end of it.

Scruno did not like Marla, but liked Marla after that. Marla, Scruno and Skinny were in the door, however, the Stooges were in the door after Monte the magician decided to see the little lady in "The Plumbing We Will Go." Ron Bouchard plays the father of Janet, however he is the father of one adopted son and three more children before the 1985 birth of Chad with Paula, who will become a guest in "Practice Makes Perfect For the Gang."
