->'''Moe:''' Didn't you say you had an uncle?\\
'''Curly:''' Yeah, Uncle [[PunnyName Bob O. Link]], but the family didn't speak to him. He had millions.\\
'''Moe:''' That's it, [[GetRichQuickScheme we're rich]]!\\

The Stooges' 86th entry goes on a more [[DarkerAndEdgier "frightening" premise]] if you may. In this short, Moe and Larry discover that Curly's an heir to his late uncle [[PunnyName Bob O. Link]], and it's their opportunity to [[GetRichQuickScheme receive easy money through his inheritance]]. Upon their arrival, they're brought into a murder plot when they discover that Link was murdered and [[CowardlyLion Curly]] becomes worried that they might be next.

!!This short subject contains examples of:
* DarkerAndEdgier: This premise involves a murder plot, two off-screen deaths and having the trio in the dark.
* DownerEnding: The story has the trio receiving the will [[spoiler:after finding out the maid was the murderer in disguise.]] Yet, as Curly reads it...
-->'''Curly:''' "To my nephew, Curly Q. link, I leave a sum total of [[spoiler:67 cents, net.]]"
'''Larry:''' [[spoiler:67...!]]\\
'''Curly:''' [[spoiler:Sixty...]]\\
'''Moe:''' "[[spoiler:67 cents]]"?!
* EveryoneIsASuspect: When Detective Clancy mentions Bob O. Link's demise a guest is befuddled and thinks one of the guests was behind it.
-->'''Detective Clancy:''' Well, maybe you did and maybe you didn't. But you're not leaving here until I find out, see? Besides, some of you are still missing.
* GetRichQuickScheme: Per "Stooges-as-tramps-story" norm. They discover about Bob O. Link's passing in the paper and Curly's an heir to his fortune, so they plan to receive it. Yet, that was before they became victims to this murder plot.
* KilledOffForReal: Bob O. Link, then [[spoiler:his lawyer.]]
* PunnyName:
** Curly Q. Link (Curlicue).
--->'''Larry:''' What's the 'Q' stand for; "Quincy"?\\
'''Curly:''' Nope.\\
'''Moe:''' "Quilip"?\\
'''Curly:''' No.\\
'''Moe:''' What does the 'Q' stand for?\\
'''Curly:''' Cuff.[[note]]The middle name "Cuff" was meant to reference Curly Cuffs jewelry.[[/note]]\\
'''Larry:''' Oh, Quff Link.\\\
'''Moe:''' Oh... ''({{doubletake}})''
** And let's not forget Bob O. Link (Bobolink).
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The other quests in the short. After they were given rooms after the [[spoiler:the lawyer's body was missing. Then at one point, the Stooges find two in a closet tied up and gagged, but weren't rescued as the Stooges ran afterwards in fright.]]
