Characters
Synopsis
The episode starts with CatDog riding their bike through town. Dog wants to go to clown school, though Cat declares the idea stupid and prepares to leave, only to get stopped by Sargent Sillybells after he claims Cat doesn't have what it takes. Wanting to prove him wrong, Cat would enlist and the two are prepped for clown school, with Sillybells intending to keep an eye on Cat.
During the training, Cat finds himself unable to go through with most of the exercises, especially those that may get his fur dirty. It would come to a head when Cat refuses to get a pie thrown in his face, and he is thus discharged. The clowns and Cat are then briefed on their missions for the day, one of which involving entertaining at a birthday party for one Susie Sourpuss, who none have ever been able to make laugh. Dog would volunteer to go to the party, but upon getting there, is overwhelmed. Dog convinces Cat to go in his place, though Cat doesn't fare any better. After working up the will to take a pie in the face, Cat is angered to learn that still didn't make Susie laugh, though an ensuing emotional breakdown manages to work.
Cat is commended for making Susie laugh, but he is dismayed to learn that as part of their honors is a 21 pie salute.
