5	Here, the Stooges, who are salesmen, are chosen to guard the house of Professor Graves from a Japanese spy invasion.
6
7	!!Who posted those tropes?:
8	* BearsAreBadNews: Moe comes upon a stuffed taxidermy bear, first being scared by it before realizing it was fake.
9	* BigRedDevil: Well, not very big (he's only as tall as the boys) but one spy is tricked out like [[{{Satan}} the classic Devil]], pitchfork and all.
10	* BombDisposal: The Stooges realize that the bomb was accidentally lit when threatening the badguys with it. They pass it on to each other right before throwing it at the other trio, blasting them out of the house.
11	* CutenessProximity: The boys hear some music in the parlor, thinking somebody is playing the piano. When they check it, a CuteKitten is walking on the keys!
12	--> '''Curly:''' Ah, look! ''(A white kitten is walking across the piano keys.)'' Hee-hee! A kitten on the keys!
13	--> ''(The guys chuckle in relief.)''
14	--> '''Moe:''' [[TemptingFate Yeah! See? We've got nothing to worry about!]]
15	* DastardlyWhiplash: The lead spy has a hunched posture, a pencil mustache, and a BlackCloak with a matching Homburg hat.
16	* DelayedOhCrap: This exchange here:
17	-->- '''Professor Graves:''' Now, remember, boys, you will defend my property until your life's blood flows down the floor in rivers! ''(Tips his hat.)'' Goodbye. ''(Professor Graves and his bodyguard leaves.)''
18	--> '''Moe:''' Okay, Boss, you've got nothing to worry about!
19	--> ''(The Stooges turn and head indoors, but suddenly stop in fright...)''
20	--> '''Larry''' ''(terrified)'' ''':''' Did he say '''''BLOOD?!'''''
21	--> '''Curly''' ''(just as scared)'' ''':''' I'm '''''ANEMIC!!!'''''
22	--> '''All:''' '''NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!''' ''(All three run inside the house terrified!)''
23	* DemBones: One of the spies is dressed like a skeleton, and manages to terrorize both Larry and Curly.
24	* DoubleTake: At one moment the skeleton-suited spy hides under a drop cloth. The panic stricken Curly joins him, only to be shushed by the spy. Curly nods agreement, but a moment later...
25	* EvilLaugh: Heard through out the house... and after somebody [[PieInTheFace gets hit by a pie]]!
26	* FramingDevice: The premise is told through a story by Professor Dunkfeather for a reporter.
27	* JugglingLoadedGuns: Graves gives one of the boys, which is Curly, a rifle. When Graves asks if he knows how to use it, Curly demonstrates its features. When he pulls the trigger, [[CloseCallHaircut the ricocheting bullet shoots he Stooges' hats off]].
28	** It happens again when Curly shoots the rifle after he said he unloaded it. Curly ducks the ricocheting bullet that takes Moe and Larry's hat before standing up and razzing at it. [[RuleOfFunny The bullet comes back and snatches Curly's hat!]]
29	-->'''Moe:''' So, you unloaded it, huh?! I'll unload your BRAINS, if you've got any!
30	--> ''(Moe grabs Curly's head, and slaps it!) '''''SLAP!!!''''' ''
31	--> '''Curly:''' OW!!!
32	* MistakenForServant: When the Stooges arrive at Graves' mansion as traveling salesmen, he assumes them to be the three caretakers he recently hired.
33	* ObviouslyEvil: The Axis spies are as blatant about their evilness as always, but in a different manner than in other Stooge shorts: instead of walking around in full Nazi regalia and doing the Hitler salute in broad daylight on American soil, these spies are inexplicably dressed in Halloween costumes that telegraph their evil nature -- the leader being a DastardlyWhiplash and his two goons being a [[DemBones skeleton]] and a BigRedDevil.
34	* RunningGag: An unknown person throwing pies throughout the story.
35	** TheReveal: It was [[spoiler:Dunkfeather]].
36	*** [[spoiler:TheUnreveal: Yet, after his confession, a pie was thrown at him [[MindScrew by some other person]], leaving the viewer to question who threw ''that'' pie.]]
37	* TimeZonesDoNotExist: One of the clocks goes off when it hits 5:00 in Russia. Russia is a very big country with many times zones; it wouldn't be 5:00 in all of Russia.
