[edit] Plot

The stooges are dressed as Japanese soldiers for a photo shoot; their boss tells them to go on a lunch break but they have to keep their costumes on to finish the photo shoot quickly. Meanwhile in the restaurant the stooges are about to go to, the manager reads a headline in the newspaper: JAP SUB BLOWN UP SHORE, U.S. COAST GUARD DEALS DEATHS BLOW, and 3 JAPANESE SOLDIERS ESCAPE: CITIZEN WARNED TO KEEP A SHARP LOOKOUT. When the Stooges arrive the manager thinks they are the Japanese and attacks the Stooges, but they manage to escape. When they escape into the alley, they accidental activite a hidden door. When they get inside they met a Nazi spy named Hugo who mistakes them for the three Japanese, Naki (Larry), Saki (Moe), and Waki (Curly), that escaped. Just as Hugo was about to introduce them to some ladies, Curly accidentally calls them dames which makes Hugo realize that they aren't the Japanese, but he plays along. In order to prove themselves, the Stooges have to teach the ladies jujitsu and do acrobatic tricks. When the real Japanese arrive, the stooges fight them, but they keep turning the lights on and off, leading them to fight the wrong persons. At the end the stooges come out victorious.
