He gains the animosity of Ike by dating Sharon, while Woody hates him for not being trash and hanging around with Jerry. So the stage is set for a rather disgusting prank, what Ken finds in his bed is the previously mentioned dead dog. During a scramble to turn on the lights he knocks over a vase or something full of water and the badly wired lamp turns him into a prime example of electricity following the path of least resistance.

The deep and rumbling growl he issues just before attacking is this movie's high point, since the killer's identity is hardly a difficult puzzle.
