The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter a shaky TV commercial, Mario and Luigi finally land their first plumbing call. A dripping faucet sounds like an easy win, but the client's enormous dog, Francis, turns the job into a frantic obstacle course. As the brothers race across Brooklyn and try to look professional, their cheerful sales talk collides with increasingly chaotic reality. This scene captures their hopeful partnership—and the comic gap between confidence and competence—without revealing what comes next.
