stupid-looking

The Shemp Stooges are hired by the Onion Oil company. A criminal gang keeps robbing their gas stations and they need some "stupid-looking" guys to pose as idiot gas station attendants in the undercover investigation. It's great to start this with stupid-looking to describe the boys. It's an open invitation to be as stupid as they want to be and it doesn't end. I like Emil Sitka playing with the boys. I would like the fight to stay in fast forward speed. It's funnier that way. This is stupid and I like it a lot.
