- Riding on a bus Jerry and George meet a friend, Al Netche (W. Earl Brown), who tells them another friend, Fulton (Michael Rivkin), is in a hospital, and that Jerry may want to visit him as he might need a "good laugh." George feels bored when he has nothing to talk about with his girlfriend, Daphne (Karla Tamburrelli), and he wants to break up. George tells Jerry that he and Daphne have nothing to worry about and that they spend all their time together just reading. Later, Daphne tells George that Al encouraged her to end the relationship as George doesn't commit and may end up hurting her. George decides to postpone the break-up and sustain the relationship just for spite, to prove Al wrong.
Kramer has got a job as a stand-in actor, in the series All My Children, along with his friend Mickey Abbott (Danny Woodburn), a "little person" who is offended by the term "midget". Mickey, however, is worried about keeping his role as the young actor he stands in for is rapidly growing. Kramer suggests Mickey use "lifts" to increase his height, to which Mickey reluctantly agrees. Mickey tells Kramer that the "little person" community frowns upon lifts, but Kramer forces Mickey to get the lifts none-the-less. Jerry later sets up a date for Elaine with his friend, Phil Totola (Mark Tymchyshyn). Jerry believes that Phil is a great guy and has good jokes.
Jerry visits Fulton in the hospital where he tells a story about a guy "Pachyderm" and the hot pizza slices he was juggling, but Fulton doesn't laugh. Phil arrives at the hospital to make Fulton laugh, but to no avail. Meanwhile, other "little" actors notice something different on Mickey as he plans to date Tammy (Debbie Lee Carrington), a little woman. Johnny Bigiano (Joe Gieb), another small actor who envies Mickey for being a stand-in for some famous child actors, sets to find out what is going on with him. Mickey is worried since he could be ostracized for this kind of thing.
Jerry mentions his situation with Fulton to Elaine and Kramer. Jerry feels added pressure to be funny after his first visit to the hospital coincides with a deterioration in Fulton's condition. He offers to do his act with new material. Elaine had a good evening with Phil, including the Pachyderm story, until Phil suddenly takes "it out". Elaine narrates the incident to Jerry, who cannot believe it as he believes he knows Phil. Kramer believes that maybe it needed some air, as it cannot breathe inside. George says that he was so focused on removing the woman's clothes that he never thought of removing his own.
When Johnny discovers the lifts after breaking Mickey's locker open, Mickey is ostracized by the other dwarf actors, including Tammy; even though Mickey tries to defend himself and his career. Mickey even blames everything on Kramer, but no one believes him and as Tammy leaves with Johnny, Mickey angrily attacks Kramer.
At the hospital, Jerry is being so funny that Fulton cannot stop laughing. Fulton then suddenly stops laughing, supposedly dying from it. Later at Monk's, George has said to Jerry that he would go as far as to marry Daphne just to prove he can commit. However, to George's relief, Daphne says that she met another person: Jerry Persach, who George reveals is "Pachyderm" who used the pizza trick from his earlier mentioned story to woo Daphne.
