Larry has been contracted to go to Atlanta to appear at the birthday party of a wealthy fan, and Maria Sofia, the breakout star of his show, Young Larry, is going as well. Leon tags along and receives a butt-dial from Larry's cell phone. Maria arrives at the airport with her dog, who Leon fat-shames. In Atlanta, the maid at the hotel is upset by the state of Larry's room but he promises to leave her a generous tip. Larry, Maria, and Leon visit Leon's aunt who wrecks Larry's glasses, but due to them having a similar prescription, she loans him a replacement pair. Larry then drops his own glasses into the toilet at the hotel and argues with the maid about who should retrieve them. Later, while cleaning his pants, Larry doesn't notice that he blows a ten-dollar bill into the toilet and the maid assumes it is her tip and grows angry and throws Larry's things out the window. At the party, Larry angers several people and the fan does not want to pay the appearance fee. Larry manages to straighten it out, but when Maria's dog accidentally dials the man's phone number, he overhears Larry talking trash about him. Larry goes to return Leon's aunt's glasses and ends up getting arrested for giving her water while she is in line to vote.
