Manacek is a suave Polish-American freelance insurance investigator.

History

Manacek was called in after the painting The Poetess was stolen between being sold at Gavelby's Auction House and arriving at Megan Matheson's house. Chief Wiggum wasn't happy because Manacek was brought in instead of letting him solve the case. Manacek went to visit Megan Matheson and questioned her about it, discovering she had insured the painting for double its cost. Manacek flirted with Megan, telling her he could give her a "better workout."

Manacek visited Mr. Burns, who was also a suspect in the case. Manacek learned that Burns couldn't stand being outbid by a woman, which struck a nerve with him. Burns then told Manacek that Homer had taken the painting, so Manacek went to visit Homer at the Nuclear Power Plant.

Manacek revealing that Megan Matheson is the thief

At the Power Plant, Manacek revealed he knew Homer was obsessed with the painting, something he learned from Lenny. Homer admitted he was obsessed with the painting and would do anything to have it. Manacek suspected there was more to Homer's story and decided to figure it out. That night, Marge visited Manacek to try to convince him that Homer was innocent. Manacek told Marge she could persuade him over dinner, so Marge brought him to her house to dine with the family, which annoyed him.

Marge told Manacek that Homer was quick to panic, which explained why he cowered away from him. When Manacek flirted with Marge, Bart and Lisa told him to back off. Bart then recounted the story of how Homer became obsessed with the painting. Marge added that Homer couldn't stop thinking about it. Manacek found issues with the story since Homer didn't seem like the type to be interested in art.

While the family told Manacek the story, Homer fled the house. Manacek told Marge that once he sent Homer to prison, she'd be kind of single. After Marge insisted Homer couldn't have stolen the painting, Manacek figured out who the thief was. He went to the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts, knowing Homer would be there. He told Homer he knew he was innocent because Homer was too dumb to steal the painting. Manacek then gathered all the suspects and interested parties at the museum, where he revealed Megan Matheson had stolen the painting. He knocked Megan out after she pulled a gun on him and revealed the painting was a fake, as Mr. Burns had stolen the real one. He knocked Burns out after he also pulled a gun on him.

Manacek found the painting at Burns' manor, only to discover it was another fake—it was actually Lisa's gift shop tote bag. Lisa returned the painting after Manacek stated it belonged to the city. At the Springfield Arena Football Arena, Manacek asked Marge if he would have had a chance with her if things were different, and Marge slapped him.

At some point after these events, Manacek filed an invoice for $1,500,000 with the city. He spent time with Bart, wrestled Cletus, helped arrest Professor Frink, went on a date with Miss Hoover, attended a Sex Addicts Anonymous session, won an award for Polish-American Man of the Year, visited a salon with Agnes Skinner and an old lady, held a baby that resembled him, fenced with Sideshow Mel, and attended a DJ concert with Homer and DJ Daddy Towers.[1]

Manacek attended the launch event for The Drederick, where he was seen running out of the burning building.[2] He later went on a night cruise,[3] and joined the Facts Body Spray trivia team at Moe's Tavern.[4]

Personality

Manacek is a stereotypical 70s detective. He is chauvinistic and thinks of himself as a ladies man, flirting with pretty much every woman he comes across. He doesn't seem to take rejection as a no and will continue to flirt with women. Manacek himself acknowledged this and said that he can only solve impossible crimes if he's seducing an amazing woman.
