Katie is busy rehearsing her jazz dance to "Maniac" for an upcoming show in Glenawn. As the family prepares for the performance, a boy named Joey stops by to collect donations for Jerry's kids. They are charmed by him, but Simpson quickly points out that he might be a con artist. Joey Donova explains that his Uncle Jerry dropped him off in Glenlawn while his dad, Tim, is away at sea.
