A comic's jokes are his essential stock-in-trade -- robbing him of them is as evil as stealing a pianist's left hand. Who is this guy, where did he come from and why did the owner of the Chortles Club even let him be in the show? Knowing that something is wrong with the whole scene, Biff, with the help of a perky young female comic he meets on this gig, starts to dig deeper. Getting knocked down by Lando's gorilla-like bodyguard only makes him madder and more determined to find out what is going on and how this thoroughly untalented "performer" who has to steal the material he uses can rent out a Los Angeles theater and fill it with a paid audience for his "debut." And the further into these depths Biff gets, the closer he comes to being forced to cancel any future stand-up appearances of his own.

Despite all of the chaos, one thing is clear -- Biff had better figure out what is going on before the last laugh is on him.
