Plot
Amidst the tumult of the American Civil War, a strategic imperative is established as a Union General deploys Larry, Moe, and Curly — designated as Operators 12, 14, and 15 respectively — to undertake a clandestine mission behind enemy lines. Tasked with securing vital intelligence, the trio assumes the guise of Southern officers, adopting the aliases Lieutenant Duck, Captain Dodge, and Major Hyde, respectively. Their infiltration of the mansion belonging to Confederate officer Colonel Butts marks the commencement of a series of misadventures.
