In the Kingdom of Moronika, deposed monarch King Herman the 6+7⁄8 and his allies, war profiteers Ixnay, Amscray, and Umpchay seek to overthrow the tyrannical rule of fascist dictator Moe Hailstone.

Her audacious scheme to eliminate Hailstone involves the clandestine placement of an explosive Number 13 pool ball within his billiard table, emblematic of her determination to restore her father to the throne.

Meanwhile, Hailstone's despotic reign is depicted through a series of farcical vignettes, including an altercation over a turkey, symbolic of his insatiable quest for dominance.

As tensions escalate, Gilda orchestrates a series of events aimed at sowing discord among Hailstone's allies, the "Axel" partners, thereby exacerbating his paranoia and fostering dissent within his inner circle.

The ensuing chaos culminates in a climactic confrontation during a pivotal meeting of the Axel partners, wherein Hailstone's authority is challenged, and his regime faces imminent collapse.

In a dramatic denouement, Field Marshal Herring, disillusioned with Hailstone's autocratic rule, delivers a decisive blow by detonating the explosive ball, symbolically shattering the oppressive regime and heralding the restoration of King Herman the 6+7⁄8 to the throne.

Curly Howard plays Field Marshal Herring (a parody of Hermann Göring), who has so many medals that he wears them on both the front and back of his coat.
