Coyote vs. Acme options Forte enjoying a down-on-his-luck lawyer who takes on Wile E. Coyote as a consumer in a go well with towards the ACME Company over its faulty merchandise, solely to find that his boss (John Cena) at his former legislation agency is representing ACME, however the rising friendship between Wile E. and his lawyer solely fuels their need to win the case.
