Shemp Solo - Saltwater Daffy.aviJack Haley and Shemp Howard play pickpockets Elmer and Wilbur, who lift a musical, antique pocket watch from a Navy Admiral. On the lam when they're discovered, they run into a Naval recruiting office and wind up enlisting. Failing in their attempts to convince the recruiting doctor that they're 4-F, our heroes wind up In the platoon of CPO Lambert (Lionel Stander). The bumbling recuits are soon banished to the recruits' sanitation center, where they mistakenly give a reluctant haircut and shave to a visiting European naval dignitary. Again banished, this time to garbage detail, the boys encounter the dignitary once more, but unknown to them, he's actually a foreign spy. 1933
