The document provides a summary for a proposed 3 minute short comedy film set in a classroom detention. The main character is trying to complete his work but is being teased by a bully. This leads the main character to devise a clever trap. It is unclear if the trap will backfire or result in sweet revenge. The film will be created using stop motion animation with Lego characters and sets. It aims to entertain audiences over 10 years old with its comedy and exploits the format of using stationary Lego pieces.
