Valiant.
Search the place, boys.
And leave no stone "interned".
Look, Valiant, we got a reliable
tip-off the rabbit was here.
And it was "corrugated" by several others.
So cut the bull schtick.
You keep talkin' like that, and
I'm gonna have to wash your mouth out.
Stop that laughing!
Stop that laughin'!
You know what happens
when you can't stop laughin'.
One of these days,
you're gonna die laughin'.
As for you, Valiant, step outta line...
and we'll hang you
and your laundry out to dry.
Come on, boys.
Let's am-scray.
- They're gone.
Jeepers, Eddie, that was swell.
You saved my life.
How can I ever repay ya?
Blecch! For starters,
don't ever kiss me again.
Will you stop kickin' me?
Stop kickin' me.
Dolores.
Dolores. Dolores!
Hey, Eddie, you made the front page today,
- Yeah, I guess I made some ink.
- And what ink.
Come on, Eddie.
So tell me, Eddie,
is that a rabbit in your pocket,
or are you just happy to see me?
Cut the comedy, Dolores.
I've had a very hard day.
- I gotta get outta these cuffs.
- Oh, swell.
Whew!
Jeepers, Eddie, That almost killed me,
- Ow.
- Boy, what is this?
Some kind of a secret room?
It's a rotgut room,
hold over from Prohibition.
Oh, I get it, a speak easy.
A gin mill. A hooch parlor.
- Tools are up here, Eddie.
- Look at this!
- Aah!
- It's a spy hole.
Jeepers, Eddie,
this'd be a great place to hide.
- Crazy toons. Oof!
- Watch your head.
I thought you said
you'd never take another toon case.
- What'd you have, a change of heart?
- Nothin's changed.
Somebody's made a patsy outta me,
and I'm gonna find out why.
Hold still, will ya?
- Does this help?
- Yeah, thanks.
Do you mean to tell me that you could have
taken your hand outta that cuff at any time?
- No, not at any time. Only when it was funny.
- Get outta here!
Come on, Eddie.
Where's your sense of humor?
He always this funny, or only
on days when he's wanted for murder?
Listen.
My "silosophy" is this.
If you don't have a good sense
of humor, you're better off dead.
You just may get your wish unless
I can figure out what happened to this.
What is it, Eddie?
Just look at it,
- Mr. Acme's will.
- Yeah,
And I think Maroon played the part of sound
mind, and your wife, the sound body.
- Why, I resent that innuendo.
- What's the scheme, Eddie?
- I don't think they got to the will.
- But how do you know?
Because they were still lookin'
for it after they killed him.
Anything I can do?
Maybe you could go downtown
and check the probate.
Yeah, check the probate.
Why, my Uncle Thumper had
a problem with his probate.
And he had to take these
big pills and drink lots of water.
Not prostate, you idiot.
Probate.
Let me get this straight.
You think that my boss, R.K. Maroon,
dropped a safe on Marvin Acme's head...
so that he could get his hands on Toontown?
Yep.
That's my hunch.
Uh, can he stay here for a couple of days?
Not gonna do anything crazy, is he?
- Where are you goin'?
- Back to the office,
Mr, Valiant? Mr, Valiant?
You've got the wrong idea
about me, Mr, Valiant,
I'm a pawn in this, just like Roger.
Can you help me find him?
Just name your price.
And I'll pay it.
Yeah. I'll bet you would.
You gotta have the rabbit
to make the scam work.
No, no, no. I love my husband.
You've got me all wrong.
You don't know how hard
it is being a woman...
Iooking the way I do.
Yeah, well,
you don't know how hard it is being a man...
Iooking at a woman looking the way you do.
I'm not bad.
I'm just drawn that way.
Weren't you the one I caught playin'
patty-cake with Old Man Acme?
You didn't catch me, Mr. Valiant.
You were set up to take those pictures.
- What are you talkin' about?
- Maroon wanted to blackmail Acme.
I didn't want to have
anything to do with it.
But he said, if I didn't pose
for those patty-cake pictures,
Roger would never work in this town
again. I couldn't let that happen.
I'd do anything for my husband, Mr. Valiant.
