Jerry and George are at a bookstore, Brentano's, where George hopes to meet women. Jerry spots Uncle Leo shoplifting. He confronts Leo about it privately, and Leo promises to return the book, but on a subsequent visit, Jerry sees him shoplifting again. Jerry rats out Leo to the Brentano's security guard, intending only to scare him straight, but because Leo has a prior conviction, he now faces jail time. Jerry apologizes to Uncle Leo, but Leo tells him he never forgets when he's been betrayed. Jerry has nightmares about Leo seeking revenge on him. George takes a book into the bookstore bathroom and later tries to put it back on a shelf, but the manager says he cannot after the book has been in the bathroom, forcing George to buy it. George tries to return it, but the book has been flagged as being in the bathroom. George tries to donate his book to charity, but even they won't take the marked book. George plans to get even with Brentano's by stealing a copy of the same book and returning it to get his money back. Jerry tries to talk the same manager who caught George into letting Leo off lightly, but the store is having problems with theft, so he needs to "make an example" of someone. Realizing he can sacrifice someone else to save Leo, Jerry rats on George for his attempted shoplifting. At the annual Peterman party, Elaine is depressed by the other staff showing her up dancing, so she and a man named Zach get drunk and make out at their table.

Elaine gets through it without trouble, and the experience inspires her to pitch a "detox poncho" for the catalog. Kramer and Newman plan to run a rickshaw service.
