Summary
Calvin causes chaos at a courtroom when Dad tries to do a defense.

Full plot
Calvin's dad reveals he's been hired as Jack Freewater's defense attorney, much to Calvin's amusement. Unfortunately, the trial is at 4:00 Sunday, which is when Mom goes to her barber... and after what happened last time, she's not taking Calvin. Neither Rosalyn and the Derkins will take him either, so the only choice is for Calvin to accompany his father to the hearing. He excitedly packs, believing he'll be helping his dad with the case. Later, after they get there, Calvin uses the Time Pauser to take hold of Dad's evidence, discovering that Freewater was sued for $5,000 for not paying a house painting service since they were terrible, and that they deliberately destroyed the paint. Disaster strikes when a skunk that Dad nearly ran over sprays him in response. Never one to turn down a challenge, Calvin disguises himself as an adult, complete with stilts and a voicebox. Once inside the courtroom, he delivers his opening statement. Naturally, Calvin makes several asides when presenting a paint can to the judge. The prosecution comes up and presents a picture contrary to Calvin's, and the courtroom takes a fifteen-minute recess. Calvin uncovers some more contrary evidence, and uses the Time Pauser to get to his house. There, he uses the MTM to discover that Moe and his gang threw tomatoes and such at it. Taking a picture and grabbing Moe, they return to the courtroom, where Calvin slips his disguise back on and reveals Moe's guilt. He's sentenced to five hours in jail and a phone call to his parents, and Freewater is given a verdict of not guilty. Unfortunately, Calvin's disguise begins to fall apart, but he easily distracts them. Dad wakes up, and Calvin says they settled out of court. Because of the stench, Calvin rides strapped onto the car with Hobbes.
