Synopsis
Jimmy and Roy had murder in their hearts. Tricked into making a dangerous trip to Venus, all they could think of was how nice it will be to tear old Sourpuss into little pieces—as they froze in a space-ship close to the Sun!

Review
This is the sort of story that is hard to make great. It is a short comedy skit really. With a science fiction situation delivering the punch line. The characters are pretty good, more caricatures but that is what you want in a comedy. Nothing that would be offensive to anybody either. So this is a nice little funny story with a couple of buffoons to be the butt of the joke. Enjoyable, but not good enough to be a classic.
