[[Marvin Acme]] however would not sell his property, so Maroon plotted a scheme to blackmail his friend with [[Jessica Rabbit]]. He told Jessica to pose for pattycakes with him; Jessica didn't want anything to do with it until Maroon threatened her that he'd fire [[Roger Rabbit (character)|Roger Rabbit]] and would see that he'd never find a job again. | He had a chance to sell his studio to [[Cloverleaf Industries]], but they wanted [[Acme Corporation]] first.

Nonetheless Maroon managed to sell his Studios to Cloverleaf, after they got the [[Pacific Redcar Trolley Line]]. When Valiant saw in the newsreel Maroon shaking hands with Cloverleaf's bankers and executives, he saw the connection.
