We're at the campaign headquarters for "Hammond Egger," who is running for President. Immediately we see two crooked guys - actors who were regular villains on the Adventures Of Superman TV series (Kenneth MacDonald and Ben Weldon). They are the campaign manager "Bill Wick" and his sidekick "Jim Digger." They are scheming to "make that oil grab" and need Egger to be elected. They know three of their delegates "are smelling a rat....and what we need are three (new) delegates who are too dumb to think and who'll do what we tell 'em."
Any guess who they will find? The answer comes quick as the Stooges, janitors in the place, quickly demonstrate how stupid they are in front of Wick and Digger. "If they are half as dumb as they look, I think we've found our men," says Wick.
The Stooges are so inept they make Weldon look smart in comparison. He always played the dumbest crook on Superman. Here, "Jim" gets his toupee "scalped" when Shemp's vacuum cleaner sucks it off his head. They give it back to him with all the dust and other crud from the vacuum bag and then put glue on his head! It's brutal, but it's a funny scene.
Anyway, the boys are offered money to be delegates at the convention and they accept. They then do a two-minute skit, or parody, of conventioneers which, frankly, was stupid.
The rest of it is the boys back in their hotel room later than night, and the goofy things they do to each other while eating, drinking coffee and soaking their tired feet in a tub of hot water. Poor Shemp's "dogs" are barking, and this is the only time I've ever seen that expression put to literal use on screen! It's funny. So are a few clever remarks such as "Hey, won't Wick burn when he......"
The rest of it is so-so, with a strange ending in which the guys look like murderers!
