It turns out that Pupkin also wants to be a comedy star, and he hopes that Forand can help and help him, so Forand, who is tired, has to perfunctory the young man. After that, Pupkin repeatedly contacted Forand's office with no results, so he had to wait for him at the TV station again, and Forand's assistant simply dealt with him again. In front of the TV building, Pupkin met Martha, a girl who also admired Forand. After discussion, the two kidnapped Forand, who was preparing to record the program. At Martha's residence, Pupkin called the TV station and announced that he would take the place of Forand in the "TV Tonight" program, or he would execute Forand. The TV station had to agree. At the same time, Forand cheated Martha and took the opportunity to escape. When Popkin saw his program broadcast, he was willingly taken away by the police. As a result, he was convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to six years in prison. The kidnapping incident made Pupkin famous overnight and became a household name in the news. Two years later, Popkin, who was released early, had his own column on TV and became a new generation of "king of comedy".
