- Following his recent accident, George is walking with the use of a cane and has little difficulty getting a job as his employers think he's handicapped. He gets a beautiful office, a chair lift to get up the stairs and his own private bathroom. It can only go downhill from here. Kramer starts applying butter to his face before shaving. He soon covers his whole body and goes sunning on the roof - with the expected results. Jerry is still bugged by his fellow comedian Bania who he is convinced is stealing his ideas from him.

- Over the summer both George (Jason Alexander) and Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) grow mustaches as a way of "taking a vacation from themselves"; they both admit it was a bad idea and Jerry suggests they should have taken real vacations. George quickly thinks a different style of facial hair might be the answer, but Jerry tells George that he has to get a job. Not fully recovered from "The Summer of George", George is using a cane to get around. Jerry might have another shot at NBC, through an appearance on an NBC Showcase that might lead to another pilot. He's also irritated that lame comic Bania's (Steve Hytner) act is working, only because he's following on Jerry's coattails. Jerry refers to Bania as "a time-slot hit" (a reference to the success of many shows that aired between Jerry and ER). Bania also gets one of Jerry's ex-girlfriends Jenna (Kristin Davis) (the toothbrush and the toilet bowl).
George learns of a job interview with a playground equipment company. George is hired for the job at Play Now because they think he's handicapped due to his use of the cane. George takes full advantage of the situation after they offer him his own fully equipped handicap bathroom. He also gets an incredible office with a great view. George is loving it. George says that he has always been handicapped, he is only now getting the recognition for it. While returning home from a month-long vacation in Europe, Laney (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and Puddy (Patrick Warburton) (the face painting auto-mechanic) break up, then getting back together on their long flight home, only to break up again.
Kramer (Michael Richards) finds butter is better than shaving cream. Kramer's skin feels so good with butter he takes to spreading it all over his body. Unfortunately, he falls asleep as he lies out in the sun where he begins to cook. Newman (Wayne Knight), reading the cannibalism-themed story Alive, finds the smell of buttered Kramer appealing. In his disturbed state, Newman sees Kramer's head on a turkey in Monk's, panics and runs out. George sprains his good leg and begins favoring the other leg and Play Now buys him a motorized cart as a result.
Jerry is informed that Bania is going to follow him on the NBC showcase. Jerry then plans to sabotage his own act, surmising that Kenny's act will also bomb. Jerry firmly believes that the only reason Bania is able to entertain the audience because Jerry goes first and warms them up. George manages to keep up his handicap bluff until he gets into some trouble with an old man after bumping his cart. The old man begins to chase George's cart with his own. George decides to jump off and pick up his cart. He begins to run but is seen by his boss. The mob catches George, now concerned about what'll happen to his job, and one older gentleman hits George with his cane ("Eat hickory!"). After Jerry sabotages his act, Newman meets Kramer backstage. After Kramer accidentally has oregano and Parmesan spilled on him, Newman then tries to eat him. As Kramer fights off Newman, they run onto the stage during Bania's act. After Bania's act, 2 NBC executives offer him a pilot on NBC, thinking Kramer and Newman running onto the stage was part of the act.
