Recensione in evidenza
Surely, a better title would have been 'Al, the gumshoe'.
Peggy wants Al to get a second job so that they will be a two-income family. Al gets work as a janitor for detective Jack Dallas, but when a beautiful blonde woman, Vanessa Van Pelt (Traci Lords, looking amazing), enters the office while Dallas is out, Al pretends to be the private eye's partner.
Vanessa believes that she is about to inherit a priceless gem from her elderly Uncle Franklin, and needs protection from her other greedy relatives. Al visits the Van Pelt mansion to check out the situation, but while he is there the lights go out, and when they come back on the uncle is dead, the diamond is missing, and he is holding the murder weapon, a bloody dagger.
This episode is a lot of fun for fans of old detective movies, Al providing a noir-style voice-over, with Lords putting in a sizzling performance as a Veronica Lake-style femme fatale. The other relatives are also an amusingly eccentric bunch: a suave young man, a big breasted brunette, a man with two hooks instead of hands, and the family idiot, all of whom have an alibi.
Al finally manages to solve the case using his shoe knowledge and is rewarded with a cheque for $50,000, but wakes up to find that it has all been a dream.
This is also the episode that does away with the pregnancy plot that has dominated season six by revealing that it too was part of his dream.
