In this fourth purgatory send-up (Heck, Rapacia, Blimpo), Marlo is in Fibble, the circle of Heck reserved for liars; her brother, Milton, slaves away for Satan's TV network. Trapped in each other's bodies, the siblings foil a plot to destroy the world. The series' usual clever wordplay, funny schtick, and witty references, as well as some serious media commentary, are on full display.
