Crazy" Joe Davola leaves Jerry a message saying he will put the "kibosh" on him. Kramer has tickets for the opera Pagliacci, and everyone is going, including Elaine and her boyfriend, Joey. Elainedrops in on Joe's apartment where she discovers that he has a wall of pictures of her that he took "with his telephoto lens". After repeatedly calling her "Nedda" and insinuating she is cheating on him,he tries to trap her in the apartment, so she maces him with cherry Binaca and ends their relationship.
Jerry, Kramer, Elaine, and George go to the opera, where Elaine tells the others that Joeyisn't coming, and, since Susan can't come either, they have two extra tickets. George and Kramer attempt to scalp the tickets, each trying to one up the other, because George tries to sell the ticketsfor too little, and won't listen to Kramer.
As Jerry and Elaine wait for their friends to return, they are asked by a street performer impersonating Canio for a tip. Jerry had flipped a coin earlier,and it was taken by another spectator, so he didn't have any money for the clown, which annoyed him.
Meanwhile, "Crazy" Joe is getting ready for the opera by working out and sobbing as Canio's ariaplays. He then puts on the white makeup for Canio's character, Pagliaccio. Later, Joe is seen, now in full Pagliaccio costume, walking through a park on his way to the opera house. He is mocked by agroup of menacing men, but uses martial arts to knock them all out.
Kramer is approached by a clown (not knowing it's "Crazy" Joe Davola) who wants to buy the leftover ticket to Pagliacci. Kramer thenclaims that the clown looks "familiar", to which the clown asks him if he ever went to the circus and if he liked it; Kramer answers that he had gone when he was little and that he was scared of theclowns. The clown then asks Kramer if he's still scared of clowns (while giving a menacing smile), to which Kramer says "Yeah".
Jerry and Elaine are still standing outside, and they get to talking...
