Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Roger Rabbit is given the task of babysitting Baby Herman by Mrs. Herman, or risk "going back to the science lab". From his crib Baby Herman spots a cookie jar on top of the refrigerator, and promptly escapes his crib into the kitchen. Roger tries to stop him as he wanders into danger, but fails. Herman eventually makes it to the top of the refrigerator while Roger has various mishaps, and eventually Roger ends up with the refrigerator landing on his head. Then the director Raoul J. Raoul cuts, and scolds Roger for having birds circle his head instead of stars. Mother leaves Roger in charge of watching Herman. Herman wants a cookie, and nothing Roger does can prevent Herman from getting the cookie. Note: This short film appears at the start of the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It appears on the DVD as a separate viewable short film similar to the other Roger Rabbit shorts.
