It all winds up when Jane poisons Paul by mistake, after which Bill is tried and executed for vatricide-he let the fire go out under the bubbling cauldrons of Chinese baby food...

The frog chorus, made up of Raker, Diehl, Popovich, and Fred Whelan, sings everything from march tunes to Christmas carols with polish.
