Mystery Science Theater 3000 experiment #421: Monster a Go-Go (with a short, Circus on Ice). Teasdale begins singing the Freedonia national anthem, and the boys start throwing fruit at her instead! Despite that, Firefly refuses to stop throwing until they run out of produce. Trentino gets trapped in a makeshift stocks, and surrenders after being pelted with large quantities of fruit. Chicolini and Pinky join Firefly and Roland in a typical wacky battle against Sylvania. War is officially declared during the trial, and everyone breaks into song and dance. Firefly catches Chicolini and puts him on trial, which quickly turns into a farce. Teasdale has Freedonia's war plans, so Trentino orders Chicolini and Pinky to steal them.
It backfires, and Firefly slaps Trentino after a series of personal insults. Bob Roland (Zeppo), Firefly's personal assistant, suspects that Trentino is up to something, and recommends that Firefly "get rid of that man at once" by saying something to make Trentino mad enough to strike him. They fail to find any damaging information, but they quickly infiltrate Freedonia's government after Firefly sees Chicolini selling peanuts on the street. He also sends in two spies, Chicolini (Chico) and Pinky (Harpo) to dig up dirt on Firefly. The neighboring country Sylvania is attempting to take over Freedonia, and its ambassador Trentino (Calhern) tries to instigate a revolution when he isn't trying to woo Mrs. Firefly (Groucho) be appointed leader of a small, bankrupt territory named Freedonia before she will provide some much needed financial assistance.
