Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law season 3 episode 10 "Mindless" follows the titular character as he takes on a case involving a mindless superhero named Cannonball who has been causing destruction throughout the city. It is up to Harvey to prove that Cannonball is not responsible for his actions due to a hypnosis gone wrong.
As the episode opens, Cannonball is rampaging through the city, causing destruction everywhere he goes. The police are unable to stop him, and it seems like the end is near for him. That is until Harvey is called upon to defend him in court.
Upon visiting Cannonball in his cell, Harvey discovers that he has been hypnotized into a mindless state by an evil hypnotist named Dr. Vex. Vex had been attempting to use Cannonball's powers to commit crimes, but the hypnosis went too far and now Cannonball is unable to control his actions.
Harvey takes on the case, but it proves to be a difficult one. The prosecution argues that Cannonball should be held responsible for his actions, regardless of whether they were done under hypnosis or not. Harvey argues that Cannonball was not in control of his actions and that it is Dr. Vex who should be held accountable.
As the trial progresses, Harvey discovers that Dr. Vex has a long history of hypnotizing people for his own gain. He presents evidence that shows that Vex was fully aware of the risks involved in using hypnosis and that he chose to use it on Cannonball anyway.
Despite the overwhelming evidence against him, Vex remains unrepentant, claiming that he did what he thought was necessary to further his own goals. However, Harvey is not deterred. He uses every trick in the book to prove that Vex is the one responsible for Cannonball's actions, ultimately convincing the jury to find him guilty.
In the end, Cannonball is exonerated, and Harvey is hailed as a hero. However, he knows that there will always be more cases like this in the future. He remains vigilant, ready to defend those who need him most.
Overall, "Mindless" is a thrilling episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law that showcases the character's dedication to justice and his willingness to fight for the underdog. It is a must-watch for fans of the show and anyone who loves a good courtroom drama.
