Synopsis:

Arthur Pendragon has gone to prison, while Dwight Kaywight has been released and become a rhyming beatnik calling himself MC Jar-Jar X. All seems well until Angel realizes something, then urges Detective Komicz to bring all the suspects (Arthur Pendragon, Bahbi Ganoozsh, Saliva, Didi Sharpenahaff, Dr. Destrowitz, Nurse Derma, MC Jar-Jar X, and Don Quixote) together in the penthouse of Torso Von Morso. After a classic "whodunnit" session, it is revealed that the murderer is not the delirious Arthur Pendragon, but Bambi's brother Dr. Destrowitz, who murdered Bambi so that she wouldn't tell theur mom that they had an incestous relationship. The doctor attempts to flee using a gun, but is captured by Sam. Angel and the Ape make a few more wisecracks about sex and poop, before preparing themselves for a new case...
