At the tryouts Bart competes against Sherri and Terri, Milhouse Van Houten, Ralph Wiggum and Nelson Muntz but Bart unfairly loses to Nelson after Krusty was bribed by Nelson's Mother (though Krusty mistakingly calls Nelson "Wilber Mud") Lisa then begins to tell Krusty that he was wrong to put Nelson on the show and suggests that he hires Bart as his intern however Lisa's plan backfires and Krusty hires her instead as his Intern, Nelson is later fired and then Krusty puts on a show but after Mr. Teeny can't make it to one of the shows Lisa takes the oppertunity to fill in for him and eventually becomes so successful she runs Krusty's show off the air and begins her own television show named "The Lisa Show" and soon Lisa is nominated for the annual entertainer of the year award.

Meanwhile Bart is upset that he was not chosen for the job of working alongside Krusty so Homer decides to sell all of Bart's Krusty products to the Comic Book Guy so Bart can buy the new Radioactive Man comic issue of Radioactive Man vs. Muhamad Ali with the money but instead he is offered a copy of Radioactive Man meets the Kansas city royals so Bart changes his mind towards a copy of Radioactive Man vs The Restless Leg Syndrome but then he is offered a coin collecting book. Bart and Homer start coin collecting and after finding what they thought to be every coin in the book they find an extra slot for the "Kissing Lincolns Coin". Homer and Bart then find try finding it in a penny pile but instead but instead after no luck go to an auction where the coin is being auctioned but they lose to Mr. Burns who wins the coin with a final bid of ten million dollars.
