Over the summer George, Jerry, and Kramer grew mustaches; they admit it was a bad idea, and shave them off. Not fully recovered from "The Summer of George", George is using a cane to get around. He gets a job with a playground equipment company, Play Now. They think he is disabled due to his use of the cane and are afraid of appearing prejudiced. George takes full advantage after they offer him his own disabled bathroom. Jerry has another shot at an NBC pilot through an appearance on an NBC Showcase. He is annoyed that hack comic Kenny Bania's act is flourishing, attributing it to the fact that Bania's act always follows his, which warms up the audience. Bania also starts dating one of Jerry's ex-girlfriends. While returning from a month-long vacation in Europe, on the long flight Elaine and David Puddy break up, get back together, and break up again. The man seated next to Elaine, Magnus, is exhausted by Elaine and Puddy's arguments. When they land in New York, there is a taxi cab shortage, so Elaine is forced to share a cab with Puddy and Magnus. Kramer finds butter is better than shaving cream. His skin feels so good after shaving with butter, he takes to spreading it all over his body. He falls asleep as he lies out in the sun, and the butter burns into his skin. Newman finds the smell of a buttered Kramer appetizing. While getting ready for a shave, George slips on spilled shaving cream and sprains his good leg. He begins favoring the other leg. Thinking he is losing the use of both legs, Play Now buys him a mobility scooter. While riding it, George bumps an old man's scooter. A mob of elderly people chase George's cart with their own. With his scooter battery dying, George picks up his scooter and runs. His boss sees him. Now concerned about what will happen to his job, George is caught by the scooter owner, who hits George with his cane. Informed that Bania is going to follow him on the NBC showcase, Jerry sabotages his own act so that Kenny's act will also bomb. Newman meets Kramer backstage. After Kramer has oregano and Parmesan cheese spilled on him, Newman attempts to eat him. The two run onto the stage. Thinking this is part of Bania's act, impressed NBC executives offer Bania a pilot on NBC.
