Stupid plays cupid for a whisky-throated crooner named Dean Martin, played by Martin himself in an orgy of self-parody. En route to Hollywood from Las Vegas, the swinger has to detour through the town of Climax, Nev. "The only way to go," he leers. In Climax his Dual-Ghia is sabotaged by a garage mechanic (Cliff Osmond) and a piano teacher (Ray Walston) who want to peddle their songs.

I agree that someone has a moral obligation about this damage, but I don't know who is responsible for the atmosphere that caused what happened at the party...
...Leaving school is like burning all your bridges. But painting is purely individual; it may be the only profession where you can do this." Such dedicated talk does not mean that the lean youth with long fair locks is an isolated, inhibited child prodigy; he is, rather, the neighborhood swinger, who now zaps around in his second vermilion Corvette Sting Ray sports car, having cracked up the first last summer...
