The Stooges work as janitors at a space research center where they accidentally concoct rocket fuel and launch themselves to the planet Venus while hiding inside a rocket.

They eventually manage to return to Earth as heroes, but chaos ensues when their robot duplicates appear at their welcome-back party.
