Curare- urgent help needed

What effect would direct stimulation of the muscle have in the presence of curare. Would the muscle just not be able to contract?. I have searced all over and have found nothing on this question.

Curare blocks the action of acetylcholine on post-synaptic receptors. This means that ACh released during muscle stimulation wouldn't be able to excite the muscles.
