Dressed in kilts and talking in phony Scotch accents, the Stooges (as McMoe, McLarry, and McShemp) are given the task of guarding the prized possessions of the castle's owner (Herbert Evans). The castle staff are actually ransacking the castle while the boys sleep there, though they eventually get the baddies.
