It just so happens that a billboard of the new clown college catches Homer's eye. Unable to get the image out of his head, he decides to join. After graduating, Homer shows up for various Krusty events, but soon tires of the prat falls and punchlines. Homer then finds that his similarity to Krusty allows people to assume he is the real clown, and ends up getting free stuff and kickbacks.

Meanwhile, Krusty is in trouble with Fat Tony, and manages to escape by pretending to go to the toilet. Tony and his goons see Homer attempting to purchase a vehicle, and kidnap him. Back at their legitimate club, the real Krusty shows up, and he is in trouble. They switch up and are unable to be told apart, but Homer speaks, ruining it. Krusty and Homer are for forced to perform a trick together, they go through a wild path, and are a success, Homer is freed and Krusty pays the mob a total payment of $48.00.
