The family goes to a bookfair and Bart goes to get Krusty the Clown to sign his book. While Krusty was signing his book, he met his daughter Sophie. Sophie's mother was a soldier for the US in the Gulf War. She and Krusty met when Krusty was entertaining for the soldiers. They spent one night together and the next day Krusty screwed up Sophie's mother's mission and then they never saw each other again. The only thing Sophie's mother told Sophie about her father was that he was a pathetic washed-up clown. It was enough information for her to find Krusty though. Soon, Krusty and Sophie are spending time together, but Krusty is new at being a father so he gets help on fathering from Homer. After Krusty and Sophie's relationship starts to improve, Krusty bets Sophie's violin in a poker match and looses it to Fat Tony. Now it's up to Homer and Krusty to get the violin back from Fat Tony's hideout.
