In their final comedy short of the 1940s, The Three Stooges unwittingly aid a foreign spy by smuggling important government secrets concealed in watermelons. The nefarious foreign agent, Mr. Bortch, was played by supporting actor Eugene Stutenroth who completely steals the show. Often billing himself Gene Roth, the busy actor had signed with the Columbia short subject department back in the mid 1940s but it took several years for the Stooges to discover him. Dunked in the Deep was remade by the Stooges in 1956 as Commotion on the Ocean.
