 The stooges are photographers for Whack magazine ("If it s a good picture it s out of Whack") who, after messing up an assignment, are sent to the country of Vulgaria to get a picture of a death ray gun. In Vulgaria the penalty for taking pictures in is death, and the boys soon wind up in front of a firing squad. Curly s last request is a giant cigar and by the time he s done smoking it all the soldiers are asleep and the stooges make their escape.
