Plot Overview

Attempting to fly to Paris on a private jet, plane trouble sees the gang land in the small town of Latham, Massachusetts, and upon seeing a fat guy being robbed, laughs at the situation rather than help him. They're arrested for violating a Good Samaritan law and put on trial, and while Jackie Childs defends them, the prosecutor manages to line up a host of people who were wronged by them over the years, who now want to finally see them get their comeuppance.

Trivia

The Show

The 'character witnesses' in order of appearance:

• Officer Matt Vogel, the officer who arrested them.
• Howie, the mugging victim they mocked, rather than helped.
• Mrs. Choate, the old lady Jerry mugged for a loaf of Schnitzer's marble rye bread.
• Marla Penny, a/k/a Marla the Virgin, who was appalled that she was a pawn in the 'Master of My Domain' contest.
• Donald Sanger, a/k/a Bubble Boy, whose argument with George over a misprint on a Trivial Pursuit card almost proved fatal.
• The lady that Kramer sold a defective wheelchair to.
• Dr. Wexler, the doctor on duty when Susan died, who testifies to George's over-exuberant state upon hearing she died.
• Sidra Holland, the busty beauty whom Jerry dated and of whom, wondered if they were or fake. Elaine accidentally found out the answer when she slipped and fell in the health club sauna and landed squarely on Sidra's breasts.
• Joe Bookman, the 'library cop' who came down on Jerry for the overdue (by 25 years!) copy of Tropic of Cancer.

• The security guard at the shopping mall who caught Jerry and George urinating in the mall's garage.

• The pharmacist who sold Elaine the remaining quantity of the Today contraceptive sponge.
• Someone who saw Elaine's exposed nipple.
• Mr. Pitt, Elaine's former boss who eventually accused her of trying to kill him.
• Yev Kassim, a/k/a the 'Soup Nazi', the overly strict soup kitchen owner whom Elaine drove out of business when she found his secret recipes.
• Babu Bhatt, the Pakistani restauranteur who first saw his restaurant closed thanks to Jerry, and later was deported back to Pakistan, again, thanks to Jerry.
