Summary
Who cracked up Moose's Maserati? Why is his business associate the judge at his trial? Did Doreen really make hubby's sloppy Joes out of Alpo? Who's going to do the commercials for Superjock Toiletries? And why is Moose's wife letting Galan Del Suefio go mad with amore while pro footballer hubby is in the room?
