Krusty Gets Busted (Springfield Animals episode)

"Krusty Gets Busted" is an upcoming episode of The Simpsons: Springfield Animals television series. It is a remake of "Krusty Gets Busted".
==Plot==
Homer stops by the Kwik-E-Mart on the way home from work and sees a masked clown resembling Krusty committing a robbery. After Homer identifies him at a police lineup and in the courtroom, Krusty is convicted and sentenced to prison. Bart is upset because he idolizes Krusty. Reverend Lovejoy urges the town's residents to destroy Krusty's merchandise.
Krusty's sidekick Sideshow Bob becomes the host of the clown show, renamed The Side-Show Bob Cavalcade of Whimsy. Bob retools the show to focus on education and classic literature while retaining The Itchy and Scratchy Show. Refusing to accept that his hero could have committed the crime, Bart enlists Lisa's help to prove Krusty's innocence.
At the crime scene, Bart and Lisa recall the robber read a magazine and used a microwave oven; Krusty is illiterate and has an artificial pacemaker which requires him to avoid microwave radiation. When Bart and Lisa visit Sideshow Bob to learn whether Krusty had any enemies, he gives them tickets to his show. During the live broadcast, Bart is invited on stage with Bob, who dismisses Bart's points about the microwave and magazine; Bob claims that Krusty never listened to doctors and that you can enjoy the cartoons in a magazine without being able to read.
When Bob says he has a lot of "big shoes to fill", Bart remembers how the robber screamed in pain when Homer stepped on his foot during the robbery. Despite wearing large clown shoes, Krusty has small feet and would not have felt Homer stepping on his toes. Bart deduces that Sideshow Bob is the real robber since he had the most to gain from Krusty's downfall, and that his big feet literally fill his long clown shoes. To prove this, he hits Bob's shoes with a mallet, making Bob scream in pain and exposing his large feet. While watching the show, the police realize they failed to notice this piece of evidence and head to the studio to arrest Bob.
His crime exposed, Bob confesses the reason he framed Krusty: he hated spending years on the receiving end of his humiliating gags while Krusty "squandered a fortune on his vulgar appetites". Bob vows revenge on Bart while being led away. Krusty is freed after the charges against him are dropped. He regains the trust of the town's residents and Homer apologizes for fingering him in court. Krusty thanks Bart for uncovering the truth and sticking to his convictions. Bart hangs a picture of himself shaking hands with Krusty in his bedroom, which he refills with Krusty decor and merchandise.
