The Stooges embark on a patriotic endeavor, bidding farewell to their romantic partners and enlisting in the Merchant Marines to contribute to the war effort.

While aboard ship, they engage in a brief altercation with Lieutenant Dungen (later revealed as a Nazi spy) before encountering a torpedo mistaken for a beached whale.

Amidst their time adrift, they undergo significant physical transformations, characterized by the growth of full beards.

The incorporation of a "TWANG" sound effect synchronized with Moe's action of poking Lieutenant Dungen in the eyes distinguished this film from its predecessors.
