Who Framed Roger Rabbit

The story unfolds in the vibrant world of 1947 Los Angeles, where animated cartoon characters, known as 'toons', live alongside humans. This unusual coexistence allows toons to shine as stars on the silver screen, captivating audiences everywhere.

Eddie Valiant, a once-prominent private detective and toon ally, struggles with the weight of his brother Teddy's murder, which happened five years prior. Haunted by this tragedy, Eddie grapples with alcoholism and a profound sense of sorrow.

R.K. Maroon, the head of Maroon Cartoon Studios, faces an alarming dip in the popularity of his star, Roger Rabbit. In a bid to salvage Roger’s reputation, Maroon hires Eddie to investigate rumors surrounding Roger’s wife, Jessica Rabbit, and her alleged infidelity.

Eddie attends a sultry performance by Jessica at The Ink and Paint Club, where he clandestinely photographs her engaging in a seemingly innocent game of patty-cake with Marvin Acme. Showing the photos to Roger leads to a heartbreak as Roger refuses to believe Jessica could be unfaithful.

The following day, Marvin Acme is found dead, with evidence pointing to Roger Rabbit as the prime suspect. This shocking twist puts Eddie in a precarious position as he must navigate the tumultuous waters of blame and deceit to clear Roger's name.

Eddie confronts Judge Doom, the ominous human judge in Toontown, who has sinister plans for Roger. Doom chillingly unveils his intent to execute Roger with 'Dip', a lethal chemical weapon for toons, raising the stakes dramatically.

Baby Herman hints to Eddie that Acme’s missing will could provide a motive for the murder, suggesting it grants Toontown to its animated residents. This new lead energizes Eddie’s resolve to uncover the truth behind Acme's demise.

Eddie and Roger find temporary refuge in a bar where Eddie’s girlfriend, Dolores, works. As tensions escalate outside, Eddie seeks ways to prove Roger’s innocence while ensuring his safety from Judge Doom's relentless pursuit.

Dolores uncovers that Cloverleaf Industries plans to seize Acme’s property if the will is not found by midnight. This revelation adds urgency to Eddie’s mission as he races against time to recover the critical document.

In a thrilling escape, Eddie and Roger flee from Doom and his goons using Benny, a witty toon taxi cab. The duo embarks on a chaotic ride through the bustling streets of Los Angeles, determined to stay ahead of their pursuers.

Eddie discovers a newsreel that exposes Maroon’s plan to sell the studio to Cloverleaf, which would devastate the toons. In a shocking twist, Maroon gets murdered before he can reveal the full truth, leaving Eddie in turmoil about Jessica's potential guilt.

After the murder of Maroon, Jessica reveals her motives to Eddie and clears her name. She explains that she was only trying to protect Roger from doom's manipulations, turning Eddie’s resolve against Judge Doom.

In a twist of fate, Eddie discovers that Acme’s will exists but was originally blank, revealing it was to be written in invisible ink. This discovery solidifies the toons’ right to inherit Toontown, adding hope to their dire predicament.

The ultimate confrontation pits Eddie against Judge Doom in a high-stakes battle. Utilizing his comedic talents, Eddie distracts Doom’s henchmen, the Toon Patrol, while Roger fights to save Jessica, leading to an explosive resolution.

With Doom defeated and Toontown saved, Eddie rejoins Jessica, Roger, and Dolores. As they step into Toontown, Eddie feels a renewed zest for life, symbolizing hope and a brighter future alongside his animated friends.
