The Stooges want to be reporters and are looking for stolen secret atomic documents. They unintentionally become stowaways on a ship when they help their neighbor, Mr. Borscht (Gene Roth), who has to leave the country. Bortch is actually an enemy spy, and has hidden microfilm of the stolen documents in watermelons. Our stowaway Stooges get hungry, so they decide to steal the watermelons.

A remake of DUNKED IN THE DEEP (1949), with stock footage. The opening newspaper office sequence is stock footage from CRIME ON THEIR HANDS (1948).
