[edit] Plot
Martin discovers a rip in his La-Z-Boy and fixes it with a strip of electrical tape. Frasier once again complains that the chair is ruining the decor of his stylish apartment. Niles advises Frasier that Martin is using the chair to help bridge the transition between living on his own and living with Frasier and that replacing the chair with something more stylish would actually help Martin to better settle in to his new life.
Frasier and Niles go to a furniture store and pick out a new, more stylish chair after falling in love with its massage setting. The chair is delivered to the apartment but of course Martin doesn't like it. They ask Leo - the building 'handy-boy' - to bring back the original chair but he tells them that he took it to the waste area rather than Frasiers storage area (where he was supposed to take it) and now someone has stolen it.
Frasier appeals to his listeners for help finding the chair and even offers a reward, but only receives phony information. He eventually tracks it down to a school production of Ten Little Indians, a play he starred in himself as a child. The teacher organising the production refuses to return the chair, however when the actor playing the part that Frasier himself once played (Dr. Armstrong) falls ill, she agrees to swap the chair for Frasiers acting talents.
