What Season 2 of Married... with Children

Season two opens with the Bundys on vacation in Dumpwater, a town in Florida where tourists who stay at the motel Al picked end up hacked to death with axes. Al refuses to leave, even though the place makes his stay harder by the minute. Back in Chicago, the trouble continues: Al becomes the prime suspect in the theft of a million dollars from Steve's bank, a dog keeps escaping every other day, and a phone bill leaves the family cut off from the world. Peggy spends the money Al earns from his job selling shoes, while Kelly and Bud pursue their own affairs with the boys. Steve and Marcy, their neighbors, keep getting dragged into every one of Al's schemes.
