Cleveland starts to bomb but thanks to Rallo's sharp wit in the role of the puppet, Cleveland and Rallo's ventriloquist act becomes a hit. As their act gets rave reviews by fans and ventriloquist critic Graham Kensington, Rallo grows tired of Cleveland taking all the credit for their success. Not one to be taken for a dummy, Rallo claims he faked being interested in Cleveland as a father. When Jr. brings word of a new booking, Rallo balks until Donna intervenes but tells Cleveland backstage that he is leaving him to act on his own. Cleveland tries to fake the act as the crowd gets ugly and finally apologizes to Rallo who accepts the apology and saves the act. But when Rallo takes a bow, their fake is exposed and they are banned from ventriloquism.
