The Stooges find themselves inadvertently embroiled in a series of comedic misadventures while donning yellowface attire for a photo shoot depicting Japanese soldiers.

However, their efforts are complicated when the real Japanese soldiers arrive, leading to a chaotic confrontation in which the Stooges ultimately emerge triumphant, albeit through a series of mishaps involving misidentification under flickering lights.
