Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Duckman and Cornfed become plumbers and their first job takes them to a society gathering in a mansion. While not doing his job, Duckman discovers that the cursed “Sharon Stone” is missing; he and Cornfed try to recover the diamond before the hostess discovers the theft. After the diamond is revealed to be missing, its curse comes into play and traps them in the mansion.
Our Take
A solid noir parody that leans on Cornfed’s deadpan narration to carry the mystery beats, and it mostly works. The mansion setting gives Duckman plenty of snobs to insult, though the middle stretch runs out of jokes before the climax arrives. Worth a watch for fans, but it’s middle-of-the-pack for this season.
