After the Stooges get in trouble with a cop and run into a building; they're confronted by two convict conmen who offer them a job selling duck hunting club memberships. The boys end up selling memberships to the chief-of-police, mayor, and members of the police force. The pond they all go hunting in doesn't have any ducks and the stooges have to come up with schemes to get out of trouble with the disgruntled police duckhunters.

The stooges are traveling salesmen stranded in Valeska, a tropical country prone to earthquakes. Having no luck selling fur coats to the natives they are arrested when they receive a telegram instructing them to "get rid of present wardrobe" and an official thinks they are planning to assassinate president Ward Robey. With the help of Rita, a beautiful revolutionary, the boys escape a firing squad, and are sent on a mission to deliver important plans to the revolutionary leader. When they deliver a rolled up calendar by mistake, they are once again heading for a firing squad but are spared when Rita arrives with the real plans.
