We all know and appreciate how horrid it can feel to be blackmailed. In this episode, Jerry is blackmailed by a man working at a small corner shop in New York. Jerry wrote a check that did not clear and therefore, the man placed the check in the window for everyone to see. Jerry obviously became frusterated because not only did he try to give him the money after, but it was a clown check and caused him much embarrasement.
The episode opens with Jerry walking by the shop and noticing that he bounced the check in the window. After paying the man, he believes that he will take it down and all will be forgotten. However, the man knows his position in this deal and refuses to take the check down. Jerry says he will do anything and explains how embarrasing it is for people to see this clown check in the window. A few days later, Jerry and Kramer are walking down the street. They notice the check again and approach the man about it. Well, the odd thing about this situation is that Kramer has recently adopted a rooster and the man notices. The man says if the rooster, named Little Jerry Seinfeld, competes in a cockfight tonight at his store, he will take the check down. Kramer allows this to go on and Little Jerry wins the cockfight.
The man does not uphold his end of the bargain and leaves the check in the window. Jerry is furious and threatens to take it down himself. The man says he has a new deal. If Little Jerry can beat the champion cockfighting rooster, he will take the check down. So Kramer and Jerry train Little Jerry just like a boxer. Kramer is not the sharpest tool in the shed though and decides to give Little Jerry a hot tube experience. The next day Little Jerry is extremely tired and fatigued. When the time comes for him to fight, Kramer sees how big the other bird is and leaps into the cockfight ring. The other bird pecks away at Kramer's face and Jerry can only sit and watch while Kramer saves Little Jerry but gets pumpled by this massive rooster. He realizes how wrong he was for using someone else's pet for his benefit. It's funny what blackmail can make some people do.

Can you go a little further with this? What can we learn from watching Seinfeld? What does it say about America, or Americans, or the way people relate to one another? I need a little bit more than just a summary from you.
