 The stooges are tree surgeons who are enlisted by a rich old man to find a mate for his rare puckerless persimmon tree. The boys sail to the tropical island of Rhum-Boogie to find the tree. When they arrive they are captured by the natives and will be eaten unless Curly marries the Chief s ugly daughter. The stooges escape with the tree and, after a confrontation with an alligator, sail off with their prize.
