 years ago at [[The Village Turtleneck]], [[Krusty]] performs his comedy act without much success. To console himself, he stops at the [[Worth-A-Try Burger]], where he is served by [[Augustus Redfield|Gus]], who prepares a burger quickly and humbly, noting their lack of customers. Krusty suggests that having someone to promote the business could increase its popularity. This brings us to the present, where it is the 50th anniversary of [[Krusty Burger]], celebrated at [[Krusty Fest]].
-[[Homer]] watches the event on TV and tells [[Marge]] to cancel their trip to the Holland Michigan Tulip Days so they can attend Krusty Fest, much to Marge's dismay. At the event, [[Bart]] enjoys the film ''[[Me and the Space Clown]]'', while Marge gives [[Lisa]] a vegan burger. [[Grampa]] refuses to eat a Krusty Burger, citing a personal boycott, and Homer purchases a large quantity of burgers to fill pillowcases for just 25 cents. However, in line with Grampa’s prediction of a family curse, the burgers are eaten by hawks.

 As Krusty enjoys caviar, Augustus Redfield, chairman of the [[RedStar]] Corporation, arrives and reveals that he is Gus and now the ninth-richest person in the world. He tells Krusty he stole his restaurant idea 50 years ago and has now bought his parent company. Augustus announces Krusty's downfall, firing him from Krusty Burger, ''{{Krusty show}}'', and Krusty Enterprises. Krusty tries to win back his audience, but Augustus crushes him and also invites his old business partner, revealing it to be Abe.

-Back to the Worth-A-Try Burger, Krusty is promoting the restaurant, with his clown act. He asks for half of the cut for his act but they refuse, tossing him in the dumpster, so Krusty opens up a Krusty Burger right across the restaurant, stealing the Triple Patty Flipper that idea he stole from them. Back in the present, Augustus invites Abe to his side, to enact full revenge. Grampa is resilient on trying due to fear of blowing it due to the Simpsons curse, but Lisa convinces him to try, but Grampa goes only on the condition of Lisa joining him.
