Plot
One year later, the Stooges, the nuns and the kids are at a funeral for Sister Ricarda. After the funeral, they return to the orphanage and spa. As they get to the door, the Stooges found out they had left their handmade tombstone (which is a rock with Sister Ricarda's name carved in it). As it was Curly's fault he forgot to bring it. Later, the Stooges practice on their routines.

They practice from "Slowly I Turn", to "Enchanted, Enraptured, Embalmed", and "The Toughest Men From the State of... Texas!". Sister Bernice asks them what they are doing, in which Moe responds that they are practicing their comedy act for when they get hired by the many clubs they had sent mailed to. Mother Superior had come in to give the boys a letter from Teddy, who had written that he has heard about their routine business. He has heard of a city called Towne, that is located outside California.

The Stooges give an announcement that they will leave the orphanage, move to a new town and show their act to the Towne City. Sister Bernice asks them how they will get there. They show them a 1933 Chrysler Imperial without a roof, which was taken from a nearby dump. Some of the nuns mention the last time they left by themselves. Mother Superior gets them to calm down, as she thinks they will be fine out there again. Before they leave, Curly asks them to take care of Nippy, as he can't come with them. They now drive off and say their goodbyes.
