Plot

The Stooges are sailors employed in a ships' tailor shop. The three steal some officers' uniforms in order to go ashore. While pretending to be an Admiral, Curly and his "aides" (Moe and Larry) are tricked into stealing a submarine by a pair of spies. The Stooges eventually capture the spies, but while reenacting the capture for the real Admiral, Curly accidentally detonates a bomb. The last scene shows the Stooges as Angels being "pursed" by the angry Admiral/Devil.

Notes

• The title Sew and Sew is a play on "so and so", a softly worded insulting term for a person.
• This is one of several Stooge shorts in which a sofa spring manages to become attached to someone's backside. This gag was also used in Hoi Polloi, An Ache in Every Stake, Hugs and Mugs and Have Rocket, Will Travel.
• The "submarine jump like a dolphin" gag footage was later re-used in They Stooge to Conga (1943).
• This is the last Three Stooges entry to utilize "Listen to the Mockingbird" for the opening and closing.
  • This is also the only short which used this theme in 1939.
