Set in wartime America (1940), Boobs in Arms features the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry and Curly) as unsuccessful greeting card salesman, who get into a fight with a large man after accidentally bumping into him. With a little bit of creativity, the Stooges succeed, and shortly later try to comfort a pretty young woman, who fears that her husband no longer loves her. The Stooges agree to pretend to be paying attention toward her, in order to make her husband jealous. The scheme works all too well, as the jealous husband comes home—and it’s the man they fought with earlier!

The Stooges run for their lives, and run into what they think is a breadline—instead, it’s a registration office for the U.S. Army. Sooner than expected, the Stooges are inducted into the Army, and meet their new drill sergeant—yes, the man that they were running away from. Pity the drill instructor who has to try to make soldiers of the Three Stooges. After some shenanigans, including the Stooges ‘hiding’ inside the swinging bags that the Army uses for bayonet practice (!), the Three Stooges are deployed to the battlefield, where they are as lazy and incompetent as they were in civilian life. After their sergeant is taken captive, the military has come up with a plan for rescue—they entrust the Three Stooges with an artillery shell containing a new type of laughing gas; the idea is that they will shell the Nazi captors with the laughing gas, and rescue the captured Allied soldiers. The Three Stooges, however, end up shelling themselves with the laughing gas, and laughing themselves silly. Laughing non-stop until the end of the film, the giggling Stooges still manage to rescue their sergeant and make a shambles of the Nazi headquarters.
