The scene fades to the Stooges, who are three door-to-door peddlers trying to sell their "Miracle Reducing Machine." After several rejections and walking for miles, they come across the home of Mr. Graves, a mad scientist who has invented a new death ray ("It'll kill millions!").

The Stooges end up confronting the spies, and Curly unintentionally blows them up with a bomb, at which point the Stooges are all hit with pies simultaneously. "Who threw those pies?!" 1943
