Description:

PUPPETS WHO KILL is a live-action half-hour comedy series which revolves around Dan Barlow, a well meaning but incompetent social worker, and the four criminal minded puppets he is entrusted to rehabilitate. In this episode Buttons is revealed to be sleeping with a city councilors wife, and that this is the reason why the half-way house is getting special treatment. They receive a new VCR, and the rest of the house, excluding Dan, pressures Buttons to get them a new satellite. The counselor's wife is tempting fate by meeting with Buttons right under the counselor's nose. The sex becomes more and more bizarre and Buttons is more and more concerned for himself as he finds himself bound to cross in her sexual dungeon. Dan encourages him to stage his own death in order to get out the situation and prevent the house from falling on ill-favor from city hall. The funeral happens, but the ruse is revealed in the end. <23mn>
