The Stooges, proprietors of the Jive Cafe, find themselves grappling with significant financial indebtedness. In a bid to alleviate their financial woes, they reluctantly undertake a secondary occupation, affixing posters for a modest remuneration of one penny per poster. Their attention is captivated by a particular poster advertising a lucrative cow milking competition promising a grand prize of $100.
Promptly seizing the opportunity, Moe and Larry nominate Curly as their representative for the contest and embark on a quest to procure a bovine specimen for practice. Serendipitously, they encounter what they believe to be a cow behind a nearby fence, though it transpires to be a bull. Curly's attempts at milking the bovine prove futile, as he is promptly ejected over a fence on two occasions and later propelled onto a nearby telephone pole.
On the day of the competition, Curly (dubbed "K. O. Bossy"), finds himself unable to extract even a single drop of milk from the cow's udder. Desperate to salvage the situation, Moe and Larry devise a ruse involving them donning a cow costume while concealing a jug of milk. Their subterfuge appears successful until Curly inadvertently removes the mock udder, resulting in a torrent of milk cascading forth and ultimately leading to his disqualification. Subsequently, during a tumultuous altercation with the contest's victor, the Stooges are unceremoniously ejected from the stage, amid the disapproving jeers of the audience, having been exposed for their attempted deception.
