Moe is on trial for using an ax to attack Curly and Larry. Moe describes Curly and Larry taking him on a hunting excursion to calm his anxiety. Curly and Larry confronted a bear in the woods; believing it was dead, they shoved it into the trunk of their car, where it awoke, knocked Moe out, and crashed into a tree. Moe immediately attacks Larry and Curly with an ax after being found not guilty by the judge.
