The boys commit multiple criminal acts as they assume a man they used to know has murdered his wife. As children, they buried a time capsule under the floorboards before thee family moved away from the house. They go off half cocked to find it and make a discovery along the way. There are funny moments, but mostly it's about their disregard for a little bit of thought.

What a load of rubbish!
If the flashback to Frasier and Niles as boys doesn't lose you then the prolonged speech from Daphne where she prattles on about rats (yes, really) certainly will.
This is a woeful episode indeed, and seriously unworthy of a show that holds itself in such high esteem as 'Frasier'.
I know that every long-running series had dud/less than great episodes, but because the bar was so high during the first seven years of 'Frasier' any rubbish seems to shine out that little bit brighter.
I'm afraid I can't think of much in way of a positive to recommend this episode, it's a real dud.
