    The comedy team of Wheeler and Woolsey are at it again in this screwball comedy. Willy Nilly (Wheeler) and Hercules Glub (Woolsey) are partners who own a barbershop. By getting Hercules' instructions wrong, Willy Nilly ends up locating their business on an Oklahoma Indian reservation where only one resident has facial hair! Whisked away by the oil-rich Oopadoop Indians, the pair are offered a million dollars by the chief of the tribe to represent them at the Geneva peace talks. What ensues is madcap hilarity on a steamship that goes in endless circles due to a drunken captain. The pair dodges assassination attempts and is spied on by the team of Schmerzenpuppen, Puppenschmerzen, Schmerzenschmerzen and Puppenpuppen! All aboard!
