Roger Rabbit was abandoned as a baby bunny and left on the doorstep of a wholesome Kansas farm couple. He was raised as their son. Oddly enough, Roger never seemed to realize that he was a Toon Rabbit until his 18th birthday when his human parents tell him he was adopted. Stunned by this news, Roger decides to set out in search of his birth mother in 1941.Roger meets Richie Davenport, a young man who is on his way to Hollywood to become a movie star. Richie initially regrets giving the strange little rabbit a ride when Roger wrecks his car. But despite Roger's antics, they manage to reach Hollywood, where Roger hears a radio broadcast of a show called Mr. Keene; Tracer of Lost Persons . Erroneously believing that Mr. Keene is a real person who can help Roger locate his long-lost-mother, Roger comes to the radio station, where he meets frumpy secretary Jessica Krupnick.Jessica is a shy girl with glasses, dressed rather unflatteringly. She seems strangely oblivious to her own natural gifts. Roger sees past her mousy exterior and takes a liking to her. He asks her out on a date. She leads Roger to the sound stage where the Mr. Keene show is being aired. Roger barges in on a live broadcast and is thrown out of the station. He is upset about not getting help to find his mother, but he does get a girlfriend. He and Jessica start to date. Roger makes Jessica laugh and encourages her to start to enjoy life more. He helps her come out of her shell.Richie, who is having trouble getting work as an actor, shares an apartment with Roger. Jessica, in the meantime, is becoming suspicious of her boss Otto at the radio station. Jessica realizes that he is a spy but before she can tell anyone, Otto kidnaps her and whisks her off to Germany as his prisoner. He forces her to leave a note saying she's going away for a while. Roger doesn't know what happened to her and is depressed, wondering why she dumped him.In Dec. 1941, Japan attacks Pearl Harbor. Richie and Roger decide to enlist. Richie's career in the Air Force doesn't go too well because of his fear of heights. Meanwhile, Roger learns that Toons are not allowed in combat. Despite their indestructable nature, Toons are rather clumbsy creatures and their actions have a tendency to backfire. Also, they are so compelled to entertain that they find it hard to kill anyone. Therefore, the Toons are limited to working in supply and sanitation crews.One day a USO troup comes to the camp where Roger and Richie are working. When the headline act is unable to appear, Roger accidently finds himself on the stage and a star is born! Soon, Roger is the most popular act on the USO circuit.Roger then hears a broadcast coming from German radio. The woman giving the broadcast is Jessica. She is being forced to do pro-Nazi broadcasts, as a Tokyo Rose type of propaganda queen. Roger rushes to her rescue, aided by a few of his Toon friends and by Richie who is hoping to vindicate himself and become a hero.Roger and the others go behind enemy lines, and succesfuly rescue Jesicaa, as well as foiling Otto's plan to assasinate Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin at their Malta conference. Richie overcomes his fear of heights. Roger returns to America as a hero, and is offered a movie contract by R. K. Maroon--head of Maroon Cartoons--to appear in a series of Baby Herman cartoons. Roger is given a parade down Hollywood Boulevard, where he is reunited with his long-lost-mother. Roger asks her who his father is. Momma Rabbit is coy about answering, but cartoon legend Bugs Bunny slyly states Ain't I a stinker? (He's Roger's dad.)Roger and Jessica get married. Roger becomes a major Toon star at Maroon Cartoon studios. Jessica, having come out of her shell and transformed herself into a sultry, seductive siren, gets a job as a Torch singer at the Ink & Paint Club.In 1947, Roger finds himself framed for murder as part of a scheme by the evil Judge Doom to destroy Toon Town (A segregated community near Hollywood where Toon actors live.) Doom wants the land, which is owned by Marvin Acme, owner of Acme Gag Products, because a freeway is soon going to be built and Doom wants to own the land around it in order to build strip malls.Doom enlists the aid of Roger's boss R. K. Maroon to make the scheme work. Maroon forces Jessica to use her considerable feminine wiles to blackmail Acme into signing over the land to him. (Maroon hires detective Eddie Valiant to take some compromising pictures of the two of them together). If Jessica had refused, Maroon would have fired Roger and seen to it that Roger never worked in cartoons again. Jessica knew that Roger would be crushed if that happened, so she reluctantly agrees to help Maroon blackmail Acme.When Acme still doesn't comply, he turns up dead the next day, and Jessica's husband Roger is framed for the murder. If no will is found in 24 hours, the land will go to the highest bidder, which is Doom. However, Acme had already written out a will that left the land to the Toons in the advent of his death. Unfortunately, he wrote the will in invisible ink and Roger doesn't reallize he has the will all along. Ultimately, Eddie Valiant uncovers Doom's scheme, discovers Acme's hidden will (which gives the land to the Toons) and vindicates Roger.When last we saw them, Roger and Jessica Rabbit were living happily-ever-after in Toon Town.
