Synopsis by Brian J. Dillard

When quarterback Kevin (voice of Marc Thompson) turns up dead in her locker, Daria (voice of Tracy Grandstaff) gets involved in a bizarre murder investigation that pays homage to a number of detective-show staples in this episode of the animated MTV series Daria. Under suspicion, the brainy teen tries to find the football player's real killer. Upchuck's Angels -- a group of dim but gorgeous detectives culled from the ranks of the Fashion Club -- prove to be of little use in Daria's quest to clear her name. It doesn't help that Ms. Li (voice of Nora Laudani) is determined to convict Daria no matter what the sardonic teen detective's own investigation turns up. Just as Daria is being led to the electric chair by jailers who bear a striking resemblance to her parents, she wakes up, realizing that the entire mystery was naught but a TV-fuelled dream. Back in the real world everyone really does want to kill Kevin -- for helping the entire football team cheat on a test and almost earning them all a collective "F."
