"Drawn That Way"
JESSICA RABBIT surprises EDDIE VALIANT with a visit, insisting she and her husband Roger were set up. She begs VALIANT to clear Roger’s name. VALIANT questions why he should trust her.
"I Don't Work For Toons"
TOP OF SHOW. Hollywood, 1947. A world where animated film stars, known as “toons,” coexist in reality alongside humans. Down-on-his-luck human private eye EDDIE VALIANT is barely getting by. The phone rings....
"It's Gonna Be Fine"
With VALIANT at his side (and damning pictures in hand), studio executive R.K. MAROON sits underperforming star ROGER RABBIT down to deliver the harsh news: the rabbit’s wife, Jessica, has been caught playing “patty cake” (literally!) with Marvin Acme. ROGER does not take it well.
"Downtown"
In the hours following Roger’s apparent jealousy-fueled meltdown, Marvin Acme is found murdered, and Roger is widely presumed guilty. Skeptical, VALIANT visits the crime scene, where Toontown’s corrupt JUDGE DOOM is already looming. DOOM insists his new Toon-killing innovation, “The Dip,” is the only way to make Toons “respect the law.”
"It Stinks!"
Returning home from the crime scene, VALIANT is met by Roger’s long-time co-star and friend, BABY HERMAN. Depicted as an innocent cartoon infant (but actually a gruff, middle-aged man within), BABY is even more cranky than usual—he’s here on a mission.

“Strictly Business”
DOLORES and EDDIE used to be old flames, having grown close as two-thirds of a chummy trio on the job with Eddie’s brother, Teddy. But since Teddy’s untimely death, EDDIE has lost his joie de vivre, and his relationship with DOLORES—who’s now working as a bartender—has also lost its spark. After a particularly “professional” encounter, both find themselves nostalgic for happier times.
“He Makes Me Laugh”
Alluring to humans and Toons alike, JESSICA RABBIT could have her pick of men, so her marriage to ROGER RABBIT tends to turn heads and raise eyebrows. But ROGER gets JESSICA going in his own inimitable way, and she adores him for it.
