Ex-convict and establishment-hating Homey the Clown performs on the streets and at parties to make money, all the while subjecting people to his violent temper and hitting people over the head with a stuffed sock. A sleazy politician promises money for a children's shelter that Homey works at, but it's all a ploy to gain votes. When the ploy for votes backfires, the politician threatens to cut funding. Homey won't let that happen, and he embarasses the politician so badly at a public debate that the man loses the mayoral race.
