Plot
A friend leaves Elaine her car while she is out of town; Elaine proves to be an extremely reckless driver, making Jerry nauseated.
Kramer starts wearing jeans that are so tight that he cannot get them off. Kramer helps Mickey with an Actors Studio audition (for the play "Flesh Wounds in Ithaca"), but due to the jeans is unable to sit, causing Mickey to lose his temper with him. Mickey's "performance" is a success, getting him into the Actors Studio. That evening, fellow tenant Mrs. Zanfino asks Kramer to babysit her son Joey. The child mistakes Kramer for Frankenstein's monster due to his lanky stature and stilted gait in the jeans. Kramer gets Mickey to substitute for Joey and runs after him, but is arrested. He again faces problems in the interrogation room due to his inability to sit. When Mrs. Zanfino gets home, she is initially fooled into thinking Mickey under the bedcovers is her son, but Mickey gives himself away by automatically answering her "good night"; subsequently, Mrs. Zanfino screams in horror.
