Synopsis
Television performers Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe, known collectively as The Three Stooges, rent a room in a gloomy castle from eccentric inventor Professor Danforth, who is perfecting a combination tank-submarine-helicopter to use as an all-purpose military weapon. Unbeknown to Danforth, his servant is a Martian spy who plans to steal the machine. The professor's daughter Carol visits the castle and is present when Air Force Capt. Tom Andrews arrives to arrange a demonstration of the invention, an event the Stooges subsequently turn into a total disaster. Later, two Martians, Ogg and Zogg, steal the machine and fly away with it, but the Stooges cling to its side and are able to hang on despite all efforts to shake them loose. Both the machine and the Martians are ultimately destroyed as the Stooges crash-land in their television studio, where they are offered a new contract on the spot. Meanwhile, Carol and Tom have fallen in love.
