Maroon is the human owner of Maroon Cartoon studios; [[Roger Rabbit]] is a fun-loving toon rabbit, one of Maroon's stars; Roger's wife Jessica is a gorgeous toon woman; and Baby Herman is Roger's costar, a 50-year-old toon who looks like an infant.

Eddie, Jessica, and Roger are captured by Doom and his weasels and held at the Acme Factory, where Doom reveals his plan. Since he owns Cloverleaf and Acme's will has yet to turn up, he will take control of Toontown and destroy it with a mobile Dip-sprayer to make room for a [[freeway]], then force people to use it by dismantling the trolley fleet. With Roger and Jessica tied up, Eddie performs a [[vaudeville]] act that makes the weasels literally [[Death from laughter|die of laughter]] and confronts Doom. Doom survives being run over by a steamroller, revealing that he himself is a toon and admitting that he killed Teddy. Eddie eventually dissolves Doom in Dip by opening the drain on the Dip machine. As toons and the police arrive, Eddie discovers that an apparently blank piece of paper on which Roger wrote a love poem to Jessica is actually Acme's will, written in [[invisible ink|disappearing/reappearing ink]]. Eddie kisses Roger - proving that he has regained his sense of humor - and the toons celebrate their victory. | Eddie, Jessica, and Roger are captured by Doom and his weasels and held at the Acme Factory, where Doom reveals his plan.
