Summary

The second season premiere of this comedic private detective series about David Addison and Maddie Hayes of the Blue Moon Detective Agency. In this episode, David's older brother, Richard, saunters in to town looking as though he has become financially successful. In actuality, a drug dealer, Navarone, had hidden one hundred thousand dollars in the hood of Richard's car, which Richard then used to buy expensive items to give the illusion of being rich. However, the illusion is shattered when Navarone mistakes David for Richard and cleans out a toilet bowl with David's head. David confronts his brother, who admits the truth. Richard knows that he must return the money. However, he only has eleven hundred dollars left. Meanwhile, the Internal Revenue Service wants Maddie to sell her home to cover her back taxes.
