A-Z GUIDE TO MOVIES AND TV SHOWS PARODIED BY MAD, CRACKED, CRAZY, ETC. UP TO 1996. THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. SPOILERS AND OTHER NON-SEQUITURS, TOO. SOMETIMES THESE THINGS HAVE WORDS OR SITUATIONS WE DON'T USE ANYMORE. YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE THEY'RE OLD.

First-year lawyers Tucker (Short) and Eliot (Joe Regalbuto) worked at the law firm of Marshal Associates. Tucker was always trying to ask out Sara (Shelley Smith)
The head of the law firm (Wilfrid Hyde-White) has a new client.
He introduces her to the legal team.
To get her to want them to represent her, Mr. Marshal sets her up with Tucker, who doesn't know what's going on.
The rest of the associates are concerned about his welfare.
Mr. Marshal is there (no explanation of how he got there), showing how you never let a boy do a man's work.

The names Maggie and Jiggs come from the main characters of the comic strip Bringing Up Father, and... was all that meant to be... sexy, somehow? Really? Those two made the Lockhorns look cuddly.
