- Jerry's childhood friend Frankie Merman (Dana Gould) promises to get Jerry a new car as a thank you for a show he did for Frankie's car dealership. The "car" Jerry gets is a van and not the Saab for which he'd hoped. Frankie reminds him of the childhood dream they had where they got a van and toured the country. Jerry doesn't want the van but doesn't want to hurt Frankie's feelings by refusing to take it. (Frankie's childhood nickname was "Fragile Frankie" due to his penchant for emotional extremes, a trait that doesn't appear to have changed in adulthood.)
George prepares for his weekly call to his parents. George's parents cut him short on his weekly phone call. George pops in on his parents and reminds his parents that they didn't call him back, but they have to leave right away.
Kramer plans his revenge on Pottery Barn because of the overabundance of catalogs they've sent him in the past month. Kramer gets deluged with more catalogs and plans to stop the mail. Kramer bricks up his mailbox, but that doesn't stop his mail from being delivered to Jerry's mailbox. Kramer goes to the post office to cancel his mail permanently. Newman (Wayne Knight) confesses to him that no one really needs mail but that there's a greater conspiracy at work.
Elaine is back with Puddy (Patrick Warburton), but after having a "love at first sight" encounter with diner patron Jack (Toby Huss), she plans to keep Puddy in reserve until she finds out if the new guy can "handle the workload".
Jerry plans to sell the van; Kramer helps him out by composing a classified ad that cites "interesting trades considered."
George demands to know what's going on with his parents; they tell him they're cutting him loose. George isn't ready for abandonment; he plans to date his cousin Rhisa (Laurie Taylor-Williams) as a means of getting his parents involved in his life.
While going through an old VHS tape, Jerry discovers an old commercial that features Jack as "The Wiz," a mascot for the electronics store of the same name. Meanwhile, Kramer wants Jerry's van and offers Anthony Quinn's old T-shirt as an "interesting trade".
Elaine, after seeing Jack as "The Wiz", wants Puddy back but is rejected by him. Kramer uses the van to launch his anti-postal campaign.
Rhisa is into their relationship; however, George schemes to have his parents catch him making out with her. Jerry searches Central Park for Frankie (who is upset that Jerry sold the van to Kramer), who's gone to dig a hole and sit in it. Meanwhile, George parks the van there and Frankie finds it and shouts "Seinfeld's Van! Seinfeld's Van!", which George thinks is "Son of Sam," so he runs away. The Costanzas (Frank & Estele) find the van and begin having sex in it. Jerry goes to apologize to Frankie and helps him out of the hole. They, George and Rhisa see the van "rocking"; they open it up and see the Costanzas "in Flagrante Delicto". Frankie advises Jerry that he must sell the van after seeing what they saw, which Jerry agrees to.
Kramer is captured and enlightened by the Postmaster General Henry Atkins (Wilford Brimley), with the scene a parody of his role in the climactic scene of Absence of Malice). As he leaves, he sees Newman being led into the room who says to Kramer, "Tell the world my story." Jack, Elaine's new boyfriend, gets his second piece of good news in one day: he's "The Wiz" again and she's taking him back. George is with his parents who describe the lovemaking and they prepare to do it again, much to George's disgust.
