Previously: Watusi met a pompous gopher and his assistants. As a result of one of his tantrums, the gopher started choking on his martini and was in need of an animal Heimlich manuever! Watusi saved the little guy’s life, who continued his tirade and fired his staff. Later, Watusi received a letter from the gopher’s lawyers: he was being sued ... for having dog breath while administering the life-saving procedure! Naturally, there was only one course of action left for Watusi ... so he went to Law School, earning his degree in record time to defend himself in court! As the trial begins, the gopher tried to sway the judge with an autographed picture, then became incensed when the judge called for order in the court ... and the order turned out to be an anchovy pizza! Citing the disruptive gopher to 24 hours for contempt, the judge dismissed court ... and Watusi was approached by the gopher’s ex-staff, who claimed to have proof that the gopher’s case is a hoax! He is, in fact, a zombie, kept alive by his managers until another sequel can be financed! So off Watusi goes to find this proof ... but instead finds a trap! A mysterious figure opens a trap door beneath Watusi, but just before he can fall, he’s saved by movie actor Murray Williams (Watusi’s a big fan!). He’s heard about Watusi’s problems and has a suggestion that may solve them. Meanwhile, the gopher is visited in his jail cell ...
