Plot
Upon hearing that Cleveland has won a contest that will allow him to sing at a Colorado beauty pageant and receive $200, Homer decide to set up the "Super Awesome Talent Agency" and obtain 10% of his earnings by becoming his agent. Homer lose Cleveland to Creative Artists Agency, however, only to land a singer named Wing, who is the wife of the City Wok owner, Tuong Lu Kim. Recently smuggled into the United States by the Triads, Wing has been set to audition for American Idol, and Homer agree to bring her to Los Angeles alongside the rest of his family for the competition. This venture does not go as planned, and the Smiths instead enter her into The Contender, a television series about boxing. Sylvester Stallone is impressed with her singing, even as she is beaten, and gives her a chance to sing at his son's wedding, which will give Homer a 10% share of $4000.

However, by this time, Wing has been kidnapped by the Triads for not paying the $10,000 owed to them for getting her into the States. Homer go after Wing to get back their client. Both the Triads and the Smiths are unaware of the other's intentions; Homer mistake the Triads for the Creative Artists Agency, the agency that stole Cleveland, while the Triads think Homer and his family are a rival group. In a shootout at the Triads' headquarters, Summer is killed, and Morty inadvertently manages to kill two Triad guards. Francine concludes with a monologue about how Wing is a human being and that people's lives should not be sold as commodities which makes Homer and the Triads realize that their businesses are dirty and exploit the hopes of others. They all decide to quit and go to listen to Wing sing at the wedding, only to find Cleveland waiting tables, trying to earn enough money to get back to Quahog as CAA did nothing for him.
