In a stereotypical 1940`s cartoon, ``[[Somethin's Cookin'|Something`s Cookin`]]``, [[Roger Rabbit]] messes up (he sees birds instead of seeing stars). Detective [[Eddie Valiant]] watches him ``blow his lines``, and [[RK Maroon]], Roger`s boss, tells Eddie that he thinks Roger`s wife, [[Jessica Rabbit]], has been making Roger suspicious that he is cheating on him. He sends Eddie to figure out if Jessica ha been cheating, to which Ediie replies he will not work with Toons. (A Toon killed Eddie`s brother.) RK convinces Eddie, and he finds out that Jessica has been playing patty-cake---literally---with [[Marvin Acme]], the owner of [[Toontown|ToonTown]]. | In a stereotypical 1940`s cartoon, ``[[Somethin's Cookin'|Something`s Cookin`]]``, [[Roger Rabbit]] messes up (he sees birds instead of seeing stars).
