 The circus closes down, but the manager says he only needs $50,000 to reopen it. To save the circus, he offers to turn himself in, and the police give them the money. At the [[Springfield County Court House|court]], the jury finds him not guilty. The circus leaves town, and Krusty says goodbye before returning to his show, which is now reviewed by [[Ralph]], who gives it an A grade. Billy, angered by the headline, changes it to one about cooking scrambled eggs.
