"When Krusty's show is on verge of bankruptcy he decides to open a School for the Clowning Arts with an old acquittance by the name of Little Debbie Dimples. It isn't long before the school starts booming and attendance is through the roof. Not only has Bart signed up, but so has Sophie Krustofsky. If that wasn't enough, even Rainier Wolfcastle's son, Dieter, has joined up. Things come crashing down, however, when the city of Springfield attempts to close the school on the grounds that clowning isn't considered art. Principal Skinner is the one heading up the lawsuit, along with Reverand Lovejoy and Chief Wiggum, and they mean business. Judge Snyder orders that the matter be settled by trial-by-amusement, so it's up to Krusty to get his students ready for the trial of the century. Well, considering this is Springfield, more like the trial of the month."
