[edit] Storyline
On a rainy day, Garfield enters a fantasy world in which he is Sam Spayed (pun to Sam Spade), a private investigator in a film noir atmosphere. He investigates the murder of a university professor who allegedly fell asleep at the wheel of his car and drove over a cliff. The late man's wife, however, believes it to be murder. It is revealed that the late professor was a frequent coffee drinker, to the point that he required heavy sleeping pills to fall asleep. Some of these same sleeping pills were dissolved in his coffee on the fateful night by a colleague, and these led to him falling asleep while driving.The special ends with kitty turning out the lights.
