== Plot ==

In a stereotypical 1947 cartoon, ''[[Somethin's Cookin']]'', Roger Rabbit messes up (he sees birds instead of seeing stars). Detective [[Eddie Valiant]] watches him blow his lines, and R.K. Maroon, Roger's boss, tells Eddie that he thinks Roger's wife, [[Jessica Rabbit]], has been making Roger suspicious that she is cheating on him. He sends Eddie to figure out if Jessica had been cheating, to which Eddie replies he will not work with Toons (a Toon killed Eddie's brother). R.K. convinces Eddie, and he finds out that Jessica has been playing patty-cake---literally---with Marvin Acme, the owner of Toontown.

Eddie takes a few pictures of the patty-cake game and shows them to Roger. Roger gets drunk and storms off, declaring that him and Jessica will be happy no matter what. Heartbroken, Roger sits outside of the Acme Factory crying, wile looking at pictures of him and Jessica. The next day, Eddie finds out that Marvin has been killed by a safe dropped on his head. Roger is the prime suspect, according to [[Judge Doom]], the Judge of Toontown. Doom says that when he catches Roger, he will kill him using the Dip, the only thing capable of killing a cartoon character. Doom has enlisted the help of the [[Toon Patrol]], a gang of weasels named [[Smarty]], [[Stupid]], [[Psycho]], [[Greasy]], and [[Wheezy]], to capture Roger.

Eddie goes home and recieves a tip from Roger's co-star, [[Baby Herman]], that Roger did not kill Marvin. He said that whoever ''did'' kill him, however, must have been after Marvin's will, which supposedly left Toontown to the Toons. Without it, anyone could destroy Toontown. Eddie discovers Roger in his room, pleading innocent. Eddie decides to take his case, only because whoever set Roger up was also making Eddie look bad. He hides Roger in a bar, only to have Doom find him the next day. Now, Doom and the Patrol are after both Eddie ''and'' Roger.
