The gang was being held hostage by Doom in the old Acme Factory. They all had their hands up as they were being searched. The only one left to check was Jessica as the weasels frisked them.
"We searched Valiant and Butler, boss, the will ain't on 'em." Smarty clarified.
"Then frisk the woman!" Doom demanded, pointing to Jessica.
"I'll handle this one." Greasy offered, coming toward Jessica with a suave look on his face. He shoved his hand into Jessica's breast cups and yelped in pain as there was a bear trap in there, clawed on his hands.
"Nice booby trap." Eddie remarked.
"Nice pun." Cherry added.
The weasels laughed at Greasy's misfortune and pain as he tried to get it off. Doom sneered at him and hit him with his cane against a bunch of old boxes and a bunch of eye balls rolled out.
Doom turned sharply to his minions, making them shut up. "Do they have the will or not?"
"Nah, just a stupid love letter." Smarty answered as Psycho confiscated the paper from Eddie's jacket.
"No matter," Doom said. "I doubt that will is going to show up in the next 15 minutes anyway."
Cherry swiped the letter from Psycho and handed to Eddie for safe keeping.
"What happens in the next 15 minutes?" Eddie asked.
"Toon Town will be legally mine, lock, stock, and barrel." Doom explained.
The group grew worried and nervous about those possibilities.
Meanwhile, out of town, Benny was still hurt. Atticus was a little car sick with Roger behind the wheel, but the rabbit stopped once he saw one of his best friends in trouble. "Benny, is that you?" Roger asked.
"No, it's Shirley Temple!" Benny answered, then walked on his tires, hissing in pain.
"Jumpin' Jeepers! What happened?"
"Doom grabbed your wife, Cherry, and Valiant, and took 'em to the Acme Factory."
"Oh, great." Atticus groaned as Benny came to the car.
"The Acme Factory?" Roger asked, then his eyes lit up. "I know where that is. Get in!"
"Move over, Rog," Benny shoved him aside to take the wheel. "You've done enough drivin' for one night."
"I can't believe we're riding in a car driven by a car... Now I've seen everything." Atticus rolled his eyes.
Benny took the wheel and drove to the factory to save everyone before it would be too late.
Back at the factory, two of the weasels, Stupid and Wheezy were breaking down the brick wall where Toon Town was hidden.
"Toon Town's right on the other side of the wall, boss!" Stupid called out.
"You see, Mr. Valiant and little girl? The successful conclusion of this case draws the curtains on my career as a jurist in Toon Town," Doom gloated as he walked in the center of the room. "I'm retiring to take a new role in the private sector."
"That wouldn't be Cloverleaf industries, by any chance, huh?" Eddie interrogated.
"Uh-huh." Smarty nodded.
Doom spun on his heels. "You're looking at the sole stockholder."
Benny came close to the factory and pulled in on the side.
"Benny, Atticus, you go for the cops," Roger said, shakily holding a gun in his hands with Atticus on his side. "I'm gonna save my wife."
"Be careful with that gun!" Benny flinched, lightly pushing him. "This ain't no cartoon, you know."
"Atticus, go with Benny, it could be too dangerous for ya!" Roger advised the human boy.
"No, I have to help you, one of my new friends is in there and I don't want her to get hurt, she's like a sister to me." Atticus said, cautiously.
"Well, okay, but stay close to me." Roger said. He then turned to the animate cab. "Benny, you go for the cops, we'll save Jessica and Cherry." Roger then left with Atticus in the factory.
"This is no way to make a livin'." Benny shook his head, driving off.
The guys then came to a window, Roger tried to open it. Atticus tried to open it, but had no avail.
"Wouldn't you know? Locked." Roger sighed, leaning his hand on the window. He then fell right in as the window spun and he landed in the toilet, only to be flushed right down.
Atticus looked agape. He then went to find another way in because there was no way he was going down there.
Doom took out a silver plate and threw it down on the factory floor before his victims. He turned a valve which had steaming green liquid pour on it. "Can you guess what this is?"
Jessica looked at it and recognized it all too well. "Oh, my God, it's DIIIIIIIP!"
Cherry's eyes bugged out and she glanced at Jessica. "Inside voice, PLEASE!"
"That's right, my dear," Doom told the frightened damsel-in-distress. "Enough to dip to Toon Town off the face of the Earth!" he then pulled a curtain to show a giant machine to force Dip to every cartoon character known to man with it. "Vehicle of my own design. 5,000 gallons of heated dip, pumped at enormous velocity through a pressurized water cannon. Toon Town will be erased in a matter of minutes."
The weasels went right to work to power the machine to send it directly into Toon Town and bust down the walls, killing every Toon.
"I suppose you think no one's going to notice Toon Town's disappeared?" Cherry asked.
"Who's got time to wonder what happened to some ridiculous talking mice when you're driving by 75 miles an hour?" Doom asked her, looking completely careless.
"What are you talking about?" Jessica asked. "There's no road past Toon Town."
"Not yet," Doom smirked, coming forward. "Several months ago, I head the good providence to stumble upon this plan of the city councils. A construction plan of epic proportions. They are calling it 'a freeway'."
"Freeway?" Eddie scoffed. "What the Hell's a freeway?"
"Eight lanes of shimmering cement running from here to Pasadena," Doom explained, coming toward them instantly. "Smooth, safe, fast. Traffic jams will be a thing of the past."
"So that's why you killed Acme and Maroon?" Eddie continued.
"For a freeway?" Cherry added. "I don't understand, sir..."
"Of course not, you both lack vision," Doom snorted. "I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on, all day, all night!"
Cherry, Eddie, and Jessica glanced at each other, then back at Doom.
"Soon, where Toon Town once stood, will be a string of gas stations!" Doom continued his evil plans. "Inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food, tire salons, automobile dealerships, and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching far as the eye can see! My God, it'll be beautiful." Doom looked very engrossed with his plan.
Cherry had to admit, the restaurant idea and no more traffic jams sounded great, but no way she was going to let Judge Doom get away with this.
"Come on!" Eddie spoke up, pulling the evil man from his fantasies. "Nobody's gonna drive this lousy freeway when they can take the red car for a nickel."
"Oh, they'll drive, they'll have to," Doom said back. "You see, I bought the red car, so I could dismantle it."
Suddenly there was rumbling heard, making everyone stop focusing on Doom's monologue and wonder what the sound was. Everyone looked around to see what the source of the sound could be, until Greasy flew up in the air and the hole under him opened up and spewed out toilet water. Greasy and Roger screamed as they sky-rocketed, Greasy grabbed onto the net filed with bricks and Roger landed safely on his own two feet as Atticus walked over and dodged the toilet water rain.
"Atticus, how'd you get in here?" Roger asked.
"The back door was open." Atticus shrugged.
"Oh," Roger said simply, then looked fierce as he wielded his gun. "Okay, nobody move! Alright, weasels, grab some sky or I'll let the judge have it. You heard me, I said drop it!"
Smarty looked kind of scared of Roger and dropped his gun as told.
"Roger, darling!" Jessica cooed.
"Yes, it's me, my dearest!" Roger pranced to her, happily, taking her hand and scaring the weasels with his gun. "I'd love to embrace you, but first I have to satisfy my sense of mortal outrage."
"You okay, Cherry?" Atticus asked.
"Yeah, I'm not in that much danger." Cherry assured.
"Put the gun down, you buck-toothed fool!" Doom sneered at the Toon rabbit.
"That's it, Doom!" Roger snapped. "Gimme another excuse to pump ya full of lead! You thought you could get away with it, didn't ya? Ha! We Toons may act idiotic, but we're not stupid. We demand justice. Why, the real meaning of the word'd probably hit you like a ton of bricks!"
Suddenly, Roger was struck down by a ton of bricks, making the weasels laugh. Cherry, Atticus, Eddie, and Jessica rushed to him, feeling worried for him.
"Roger!" Jessica went to console her husband as he popped his head out with circling stars. "Roger, say something."
"Look!" Roger looked around him, happily. "Stars! Ready when you are, Raoul."
Eddie half-smiled at Roger.
"Tie the lovebirds together." Doom demanded.
The weasels did as he said as the climax was coming in. Doom grabbed his control to his Dip machine and looked as the weasels had Roger and Jessica tied up.
"Put them up on that hook! Use that escape proof Toon rope."
"Time to kill the rabbit." Psycho sang as he crawled up to the Dip nozzle to threaten Roger and Jessica's lives.
Jessica and Roger were raised up as the humans wondered what they could do to help.
"What're we gonna do, Eddie?" Atticus asked.
"We need a plan!" Cherry added.
Eddie looked all around, trying to come up with a plan to save Roger and Jessica, stop the weasels, and put an end to Judge Doom for good. Nothing was coming to him now.
Doom came to them, knowing they had no plans to save anyone's lives. "It's over, Mr. Valiant, and kids." he then walked off and suddenly tripped over the spilled eye balls and landed flat on his back.
Cherry and Atticus lightly snickered while the weasels laughed out loud. Eddie then thought that would be good to strike down the weasels while they were distracted.
"Look out, you fools!" Doom called him out, making them focus on their enemies.
"Not so fast." Smarty put his gun to Eddie.
"One of these days, you idiots are gonna laugh yourselves to death!" Doom hissed at them for their laughter.
Suddenly, inspiration struck Eddie. He looked all around himself and the kids, trying to make sure this would work for sure.
"Shall I 'repose' of 'em right now, boss?" Smarty asked, holding his pistol to them.
"Let them watch their Toon friends get dipped then shoot them." Doom darkly chuckled. He then walked off.
"With pleasure." Smarty grinned, he still laughed a bit.
Cherry and Atticus felt all hope was lost.
"Everything's funny to you, ain't it, needle-nose?" Eddie taunted Smarty.
"You got a problem with that, Valiant?" Smarty glared at him, poking him in the chest with his pistol.
"No," Eddie smiled innocently as he backed up into the large music machine. "I just, uh, want you to know somethin' about the guy you're gonna dip." he then started the song Roger sang in the back; "Merry-Go-Round Broke Down".
Smarty backed up and chuckled nervously.
"What's he doing?" Atticus asked.
"I dunno, but let's watch." Cherry said, sitting with her legs crossed.
Atticus shrugged and sat beside her.
The detective then began to sang and made up a song as he went along. Eddie then hopped onto a brush which struck him right in the face. He jumped backwards and it hit him in the back, making him do a somersault forward toward Smarty. The weasels laughed predictably at his pain. Eddie then flopped backward, doing cartwheels, grabbing a few balls. He was stuck on lyrics now.
"I'm running out of time!" Jessica suggested.
"Thanks." Eddie smiled at her. He then juggled the balls and let them fall on his head, painfully.
Cherry and Atticus winced slightly as the weasels laughed at their entertainment. They were laughing a lot harder than before. Eddie then slipped on a convinetely placed banana peel and fell backward against giant boxes. Eddie then came out on a pogo stick and made it plummet him upward into a light, electrocuting him and spaz out like a cartoon character would in the situation.
Stupid was the first weasel to go. He had fell on his back laughing and had a lilly in his hand as his ghost came out of his body and went to Cartoon Heaven with solemn organ music in the background. Wheezy was also going, he laughed, but he noticed his ghost leaving his body and tried to grab it back before he could die, but it was too late for him. The ladder he fell off of started a 50 ton weight to make a machine go on a conveyor belt with a vase moving on it.
"Hey Eddie, keep it up! You're killin' 'em! You're slayin' 'em! You're knockin' 'em dead!" Roger cheered.
Eddie threatened Smarty as he was about to rhyme 'walls' to kick Smarty somewhere. Suddenly the vase fell and smashed on his head.
"Nose!" Roger called out.
"Nose? That don't rhyme with 'walls'!" Smarty sneered.
"No, but this does!" Cherry said, swiftly kicking him down South, making the weasel land in a giant mixer filled with Dip, killing him instantly.
The weasels kept laughing and laughing. Greasy had his last laugh, nearly gagging on his and falling out of the machine. The machine was still going though, but very, very slowly. Now it was Psycho's turn. He kept laughing wild, but laughed too hard which made him hit the switch to the nozzle and made the Dip spray close toward Jessica and Roger. Psycho still laughed, but accidentally pulled the lever back as he was laughing hysterically and fell into the machine's wheels which made his ghost appear.
Psycho's ghost was smart though. He pulled the lever back to spray Roger and Jessica before he went up beyond the sky and laughed as Jessica and Roger were going to join them soon in the underworld.
"Guys, hurry, it's comin' back!" Roger called as the Dip came close toward him and Jessica.
Atticus decided to help Eddie and they went for the machine to stop it. The guys crawled closer and closer to the machine's controls to switch it off. He managed to make it go back away from them and they turned to see Doom was lunging right toward them! He had knocked both guys down against boxes. Doom was swift and strong for a scrawny old guy.
"Hey, that's not cool!" Cherry ran toward him in a huff.
Doom grabbed her collar and threw her right over his shoulder, landing in a crate. He then took out his cane, revealing a sword to go against Eddie in the final battle. Eddie looked around him and took out a sword which sang Frank Sinatra. Eddie and Doom eyed it both strangely, unsure what to do of it. Eddie threw the sword aside and took out a giant magnet to attract Doom and give up his weapon. The electric sparks from the magnet tried to grasp the sword, but had a tough time. Cherry and Atticus jumped in to help, but Doom made the magnet hook on them backward and send them against a metal tank, hitting their backs and making them all squeal in slight pain.
"Don't move," Doom told them.
The machine was coming to kill Roger and Jessica as a machine was coming to run over Eddie, Cherry, and Atticus and flatten them like pancakes. Doom was driving the new machine to run them down while the Dip machine came for the Toon couple.
Eddie, Cherry, and Atticus tried to break free, but it seemed nearly impossible. Cherry glanced at the portable black holes, then dug into her pocket remembering she had taken one as a souviner. She dug into her pocket, used the hole over the magnet which cut it, and allowed them to escape. Doom saw they were nowhere to be seen but looked back up to see them towering over him, much to his shock. Eddie kicked him clear in the face while Cherry and Atticus stepped aside to let Eddie now take on the final battle with Judge Doom. Eddie tried to punch him, but Doom was too swift and quick for him.
Eddie and Doom were at each other. Doom took out a tub of glue as Eddie tried to hit him with it, but the two were spinning now. Doom shoved Eddie against the flattening wheels, but Doom struck his fist to punch Eddie's lights out, but Eddie thought quickly and placed the tub over his face, making Doom punch the glue wide open and sticking to his hands.
Doom tried to punch Eddie again, but he got away quickly, making Doom now punch the wheels, trapping him and now to get run over. Doom even stepped onto the glue and now, coincidentally, Doom was doomed. He even stuck his foot against the wheel while Eddie went to turn off the machine and Cherry and Atticus were taken by all the action. Eddie had stopped the car keys and all was settled. Though, Doom was screaming for his dear life as he was flattened and dead.
"Whoa..." Cherry and Atticus couldn't believe what they just saw.
"Well, that wraps up that adventure." Atticus remarked.
"Guys, look!" Roger pointed with his ear to turn their attention back to Doom.
Cherry and Atticus were scared to look, but they did anyway and you would not believe what they saw.
