[edit] Plot
The Stooges as sailors employed in a ships' tailor shop. The three steal some officers' uniforms in order to go ashore. While pretending to be an Admiral, Curly and his "aides" (Moe and Larry) are tricked into stealing a submarine by a pair of spies. The Stooges eventually capture the spies, but whilst reenacting the capture for the real Admiral, Curly accidentally detonates a bomb.[1]
[edit] Notes
The title Sew and Sew is a play on "so and so," a softly worded insulting term for a person.[2]
