Plot – Lied down, Stanley and Joan Stupid are sleeping with the feet on the pillow. They're strangely dressed: he has a '30s straw on the head, while she wears like a clown. They get up happy and perform the usual rituals (washing, reading the newspaper, preparing breakfast) in the most extravagant way. Their two children Petunia and Buster are odd as well. Stanley's most upsetting moment is when he no longer finds the garbage can of the previous day. Determined to discover the thief, he lurks behind a bush to catch him. When the garbage truck arrives, two officers seize his valuable property and Stanley chases the vehicle to the dump. He sees there tons of waste: thousands of people have been robbed like him. Involved in misunderstandings, paradoxical and totally senseless events, he discovers by chance an incredible arms trafficking organized by some foolish soldiers. He is assisted again by his faithful Joan and his two ineffable children.
All actors – Tom Arnold, Jessica Lundy, Bug Hall, Alex McKenna, Mark Metcalf, Matt Keeslar, Scott Kraft, Victor Ertmanis, Earl Williams, George Chiang, Max Landis, Carol Ng
