Ep 13. I'll Never Heil Again

In the Thirteen Episode of the Three Stooges Collection 1940-1942 season 1, titled "I'll Never Heil Again," Moe, Larry, and Curly find themselves in the midst of World War II, as they attempt to foil the plans of Nazi spies who are attempting to infiltrate the United States. Throughout the episode, the trio must use their wits, humor, and their trademark slapstick comedy to outsmart their enemies and save the day.

The episode begins with Moe, Larry, and Curly working as paperhangers for the United States government. They are approached by two men who claim to be officials from a foreign country, and are asked to perform a secret mission for them. The Stooges initially agree to help, but soon realize that their new employers are actually Nazi spies who are trying to gather information in order to aid their cause.

As the Stooges try to figure out a way to stop the spies, they inadvertently wind up on board a submarine, which lands them on enemy territory. It is there that they stumble upon the Nazi's secret weapons factory, and come up with a plan to destroy it. They also encounter a beautiful female spy, who is neutralizing some of the other men.

Throughout the episode, the Stooges get into a variety of antics, including trying to escape from their own team, stealing weapons from the Nazis, and even participating in a slapstick parody of the classic Abbott and Costello "Who's on First?" routine. Despite the danger and chaos, they manage to stay true to their comedic roots, often bringing literal meaning to the phrase "laughing in the face of danger."

As expected with the Three Stooges, this episode is full of physical comedy, sight gags, and over-the-top slapstick humor. The trio's comedic timing and ability to work off of each other is on full display here, providing plenty of belly laughs and chuckles for audiences of all ages. Although the episode is set against the backdrop of World War II, it doesn't take itself too seriously, and the Stooges manage to poke fun at the Nazi regime without coming off as offensive or insensitive.

Overall, "I'll Never Heil Again" is a classic Three Stooges episode that showcases the trio's unique brand of humor and expert comedic timing. It's a funny, wholesome bit of entertainment that reminds us of the power of laughter, even in the darkest of times.
