Commotion on the Ocean is one of the boss's reporters, Smitty (Emil Sitka), who relays a scoop to Moe that some important documents have been stolen by foreign spies. Coincidentally, the spy with the microfilmed documents, Mr. Borscht (Gene Roth) lives next door to the Stooges. He and the boys wind up as stowaways on an ocean liner.

"Commotion on the Ocean" is a remake of 1949's "Dunked in the Deep", using ample stock footage. In
