Set in the country of Moronica, three men plot to overthrow their king and appoint a dictator. Their choice is a paperhanger named Moe Hailstone. With Curly as his Field Marshal and Larry as his Minister of Propaganda, the boys take control of the country. The citizens are unhappy and drive Hailstone out of power. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ ~~=== This film provides examples of: ===~~ * [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign]]: A quite memorable (and hilarious) example of faux-German * [[Balcony Speech]] / [[Rousing Speech]] Line 26 ⟶ 23: * [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The "Giva Dam". Not bad for 1940 * [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Moe takes Curly's "little red book". "Oh a bookkeeper!" * [[Mata Hari]]: Mattie Herring▼ * [[No Swastikas]]: Averted with the criss crossing snakes. * [[Our Lawyers Advised This Trope]]: Parodied - the film begins with the notice: "Any resemblance between the characters in this picture and any persons, living or dead, is a miracle". * [[Punny Name]]: The map * [[Reality Subtext]]: With the little moustache, Moe Howard lookes eerily like Hitler. ▲* [[~~Mata~~Seductive ~~Hari~~Spy]]: [[Mata Hari\|Mattie Herring]] * [[Stock Footage]]: During the balcony speech * [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: The [[Ur Example]] * [[Visual Pun]]: The Moronica symbol is the criss crossing, swastika like snakes. * [[Written in-In Infirmity]]: Larry injured his foot before shooting and had to walk around with a limp. Fortunately, Larry was lucky for this film since he was parodying Josef Goebbels, who himself had a limp due to a club foot. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~You Nazty Spy~~{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Films of the 1940s]] [[Category:The Forties]] ▲[[Category:You Nazty Spy]] [[Category:The Three Stooges/Recap]] [[Category:Film]]
