User:Penguins Behind Bars (2003 Adult Swim Special)

Penguins Behind Bars is a Canadian 23-minute adult-oriented special that aired on Adult Swim at 11:00pm on July 20, 2003. The special is based on Janet Perlman's children book of the same name.

The special is centered around a penguin named Doris Fairfeather that is framed by her boyfriend Charlie Abaloney, for pearl robbery, and is sentenced to 10 years in prison. While in prison, one of her prison-mate, Mad'm Millie, teaches Doris the life of prison, and also gives Doris the tip how to clear her name in the pearl robbery.
