SYN: Only one task remains for the crooks who run the shady presidential campaign of Hammond Egger: to recruit three delegates who are "Too dumb to think and will do what they tell them." Campaign manager Bill Wick sees potential in the Stooges, who are doing janitorial work inside Egger's headquarters. At the presidential convention, however, the Stooges have a change of heart, deciding to vote for Egger's rival Able Lamb Stewer, thereby disrupting the balance of world power (and Wick's sanity) forever. Stewar wins the election as a result of the boys change of direction.
