Summary[]
While traveling through a small town, Tony and Roger are pulled over for speeding. He later bumps another car. The driver rolls out on the ground feigning injury and his wife claims Tony came barreling along. The same officer who stopped him arrests them and throws Tony in jail. Roger tells Dr. Bellows where they are. Jeannie overhears whilst hiding among pencils on his desk and immediately pops up behind Roger. Jeannie pops up in jail with Tony then transfers them and Tony's drunk cellmate home, then most of the contents of the living room back to jail. Tony asks Jeannie to take everything away which literally happens when she takes the bars away too. The next day the court procedure's one hour early so Tony asks Jeannie to speed Dr. Bellows up, so she causes his car to reach eighty-five miles per hour. Meanwhile, Tony dismisses his own lawyer because he's the brother-in-law of the prosecution lawyer. Roger is less than helpful as a witness, so Tony pleads guilty but says the only one who can prove his innocence is the husband who rolled around. This makes Jeannie mad and she causes his wheelchair to speed into the wall. Forgetting he's supposed to be injured, he stands up and says he's fine but then realizes he's supposed to have broken legs and arms. The judge dismisses the case but as Tony, Roger, and Jeannie exit the courtroom, the traffic cop brings in Dr. Bellows.
