Synopsis

Curly Joe is a dead ringer for Homer McSlugger, the baseball champ. So crooks kidnap Curly Joe, have him hypnotized, and send him in to ruin the game while they win big. But Curly Joe excels because his subconscious thinks he's terrific! Moe and Larry are tied up but escape, but can't convince Curly Joe he's not McSlugger - until the crooks are caught and Curly is beaned by a ball.
