action

Krusty's father, a rabbi , denied his son his bar mitzvah when he was a teenager , because he was worried that he would ridicule everything.

After the dog Knecht Ruprecht had children, he had to be neutered. However, shortly before, Homer lets him have sex with a poodle one last time without Marge knowing about it, before it should be neutered. Homer, however, cannot bring himself to the operation and lets the dog continue to live uncastrated without Marge knowing about it.

The action begins when Maggie has locked herself in the bathroom and only comes out after a long time, which causes a panic reaction in the Simpson family. Then Dr. Hibbert passed by with puppies, who were supposed to be the children of the dog Knecht Ruprecht and the poodle. Homer, angry with the dog, only chokes Knecht Ruprecht when Bart and Lisa give the puppies to new owners.

At the end they come to the clown Krusty. He takes the remaining poodle with him and goes for a walk with him in the neighborhood where he grew up, where mainly Jewish people live. When they arrive on the Jewish Walk of Fame , Krusty looks for his name but cannot find it. In the committee that decides who will be elected for the Jewish Walk of Fame, Krusty tries to get a star for his name. There, however, it becomes clear to him that he did not have a bar mitzvah and is therefore regarded by the committee as non-Jewish.

Bart and Lisa try to cheer up Krusty, who is very depressed by the new knowledge. Lisa therefore suggests that Krusty catch up on his Bar Mitzvah. He also decides to take Saturday off, which is the Sabbath , and instead to take a worse replacement so that he does not have a competitor. Therefore, the choice falls on Homer Simpson. However, the Springfield residents enjoy watching this with his friends Carl, Lenny and Moe when Krusty's father explains to his son how to behave as a Jew .

One day, employees from the TV station come to Krusty and tell him that his show is being canceled because Homer has better ratings. Lisa asked him to dedicate his show to social issues after his previous successes. The clown is now trying to start his career over at Fox as an alternative. You can agree that they will broadcast his Bar Mitzvah live.

Homer, who has replaced Lenni with Disco Stu in his show, tries to devote himself to the topics suggested by Lisa in his next show. However, this is less popular, so that everyone switches the TV to Krusty's Bar Mitzvah, which is playing at the same time. When Homer notices Bart's rating low, he chokes him angrily until the end of the program, so that Dr. Hibbert the last one switches off. Homer's show will be canceled after the show ends. He leaves the studio disappointed and finds his car in the dumpster. However, Marge can quickly cheer him up again.

Krusty celebrates his Bar Mitzvah with high odds during this time. However, he finds that this is not a true Bar Mitzvah and repeats it to the delight of his father in a temple.
