Synopsis

Maggie is locked in the bathroom and she is eventually freed, thanks to Lisa trying their rescue solution as second time. The family hears the doorbell, finding Dr. Hibbert, who says that Santa's Little Helper had impregnated his poodle, Rosa Barks, and he turns over the puppies to the Simpson family and making them their problem. Although Lisa reads a book that says that Homer was taking Santa's Little Helper to have him neutered, Homer was never able to complete the deed. Bart and Lisa give out puppies to people, including Krusty, who takes him for a walk to his old neighbourhood. However, when Krusty returns to his old neighbourhood, when he finds that his star is not on the Jewish Walk of Fame, he goes to complain and finds out he was not bar mitzvahed, which means he is not a Jewish man. Bart and Lisa take Krusty to see his father, who agrees to help Krusty achieve his goal. But with this happening, Krusty cannot do shows on Saturday (the Sabbath); therefore, he must seek a replacement, and gets Homer to replace him for the day. Homer's replacement show is a talk show, featuring Moe, Lenny, and Carl as panelists. The show becomes a success in its own right; meanwhile, Krusty continues to learn his Jewish traditions. Homer's show is a surprising success that Krusty's show is eventually cancelled by Channel 6. Lisa suggests that Homer put his power to good use after listening to Bart's advice, but ironically, ratings decline and Homer's show is also cancelled. Krusty, after being fired by Channel 6, pitches his bar mitzvah to the Fox network. When his bar mitzvah ("Krusty the Klown's Wet 'n' Wild Bar Mitzvah"), featuring Mr. T as a guest, airs, it becomes a ratings smash, drawing "Raymond rerun good" ratings, but the spectacle disappoints his father. To impress him, Krusty arranges to have a true and almost serious bar mitzvah in a temple.
