The story

Willy Nilly and Hercules Glub are barbers with next to no customers: their shop is on an Indian reservation (an opening text states that the Indians do not grow facial hair). The tribe, newly rich from oil drilling, pays them to represent their Nation at a peace conference in Switzerland. Unbeknownst to them, an armaments manufacturer producing highly explosive bullets wants to ensure that the peace conference is a failure, and do everything they can to sabotage it: the general manager, Winkelreid, assisted by Wise Gai Chow-Chow, hires a vamp, Dolores, to distract Willy and Hercules and steal their secret documents.
