Let the Punishment Fit the Crime

Geraldine Ferrett (Catherine O'Hara) is a lawyer that at the beginning arrives in the border town of Stueksville since she has been arrested for driving a car with a five digit license plate (and they were illegal). At first she thinks that she can simply pay the fine and go, but little does she know that the town of Stueksville is very strict even with small crimes, and she will find out that the punishment fits the crime in the worst case ever...

During the first half I was liking the episode but as it progressed in the second half I thought it was lacking of seriousness and she didn't deserved that end. Not a disaster but a bit messy thanks to a lazy script and grating performances by Catherine O'Hara and Peter McNicol who basically shriek their lines... if you see it you'll see what I mean.
