The story

The Stooges are firefighters whose penchant for off-duty pursuits with women causes them to oversleep and miss alarms. Vexed by their repeated negligence, their superior, Captain Ashe, threatens them with dismissal if they fail in their duties one more time, and orders them to clean the fire hoses. The trio's ineptitude in this task quickly leads to mishaps—first, the captain is doused with a bucket of water, then Curly carelessly allows the hoses to be run over and severed three times by streetcars.
