** While the Riffs are screaming in pain over the [[{{Pun}} tack attack]], a Riff sneaks up behind Ollie with a knife. Unfortunately, Stan notices him and tosses tacks at him, then Ollie beats the crap out of him with a barrel. And just to make sure, they throw tacks at him, too.
** The company the boys are in finally [[BigDamnHeroes arrive]] and [[TheCavalry charge into the fort]], ending the battle for once and for all.

* In ''Beau Hunks'', the entire attack by the Arabs is defeated by Stan, who scatters tacks on the desert surface which [[AgonyOfTheFeet prick the bare feet]] of the attackers. The Riffs are so busy screaming in pain, they forget to attack and Stan and Ollie kick back and toss tacks lazily.

This leads to the kid's father twice kicking Ollie in the rear...for which Stan retaliates in turn by landing a punch on the guy's chin ''that knocks him out cold''.
