Al has bigger problems. A mouse is eating his food and defecating in his bowling shoes. This is no ordinary mouse, Peggy states. She's right because no matter how Al tries to capture the mouse, he fails. He gets Steve Rhoades to help him in capturing the mouse. At first, Al's reaction and actions seem normal but they escalate over time to the point that he's wrecking their home. Peggy states "We like the mouse, Al." She begs for him to stop the madness and get an exterminator but Al won't pay for an exterminator until it's too late. Peggy has a funny story about having a mouse as a pet when she was a girl but she thought it was a dog. It's a funny episode.

Peggy sees a mouse in the house and wants to call an exterminator, but Al reckons he can save money by dealing with the rodent problem himself. Of course, all of Al's attempts to catch the mouse fail, and the damage caused by the animal in the meantime amounts to hundreds of dollars.

Once again, Al allows male pride to get in the way of common sense, with neighbour Steve joining in on the mouse hunt. It all goes horribly wrong, of course, Steve getting a face full of poison and Al resorting to Rambo tactics, causing all sorts of damage to the basement but still managing to be outsmarted by the mouse. In the end, Peggy gets an exterminator in to do things properly, and she finally overcomes her lifelong fear of rodents by taking a look at the whiskery troublemaker.

Not a bad episode, but still a long way from the best that the season has to offer. And if you ask me, it wasn't a mouse, it was a rat!
