A producer devises an elaborate gala premiere for his
latest anti-Nazi propaganda epic, The Earth in Flames. It is slated to open in
Washington, D.C. and he has his press agents working overtime to produce an
enormous hoopla of secrecy and publicity stunts. They come up with the plan of
hiring a trio of "spies" who are to send disturbing threats just
before the showing to put the audience on edge. Unfortunately, three real
agents are trying to exchange the print of the new film with a pro-Nazi
propaganda film. These fellows try hard, but they prove to be bungling idiots
of espionage and their botched attempts provide most of the fun.
