Burnside attends the funeral of a former villain, whose son is a suspect in a recent robbery. While at the gravesite, a dog uncovers the stolen goods. Meanwhile, Melvin chats with a boy skipping school when he witnesses an armed robbery in progress. He tries to confront the robber but ends up getting knocked out. In another part of the station, an Irish plumber brought in for being drunk and disorderly offers to fix the blocked toilets. After successfully clearing them, he demands a call-out fee from the station.
