Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Air Raid Wardens is a 1943 film directed by Edward Sedgwick, starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.The film takes place in the immediate aftermath of American entry into World War II, in the generic Middle America small town of Huxton. In this one, Stan and Ollie, who have gone through a series of business failures because they're bumbling goofs, are currently trying to make a go of it with a bike shop. That's failing too, so with the outbreak of war the boys try to enlist. Naturally they are rejected by every branch of the armed forces, and when they come back they find a new arrival in town, Mr. Middling, turning their bicycle shop into a radio shop. Stan, Ollie, and Mr. Middling cheerfully agree to share the space.Meanwhile, our heroes still want to contribute to the war effort, so they join the local civil defense group. They bumble around doing that too, annoying several of Huxton's citizens, including Mr. Norton who owns the bank.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })What nobody knows is that Mr. Middling is a German spy, part of a spy cell that is plotting to blow up the local magnesium plant. | |

Adolf Hitlarious: When Stan and Ollie encounter the German spy Heydrich, and he forces Stan to shoot an apple off Ollie's head in a manner reminiscent of William Tell , the apple lands in the mouth of Hitler's portrait. | |

Everytown, America: Huxton, the sort of generic small town full of generically-accented white people that popped up in innumerable MGM films in this era. | |

Comically Missing the Point: Ollie and Stan are frantically racing back to town in an old jalopy, with Ollie driving. Ollie gets something in his eye and tells Stan "Take the wheel!" Stan pulls the wheel right off the steering column, and they crash the car. | |
