The clown chase begins when Pauly collides with Ronnie Mcdoggle, a clown mascot, while on a delivery. The incident somehow spirals into a ridiculous parade of clowns surrounding and pursuing Pauly through the streets.

Foreshadowing: No clear foreshadowing exists, though the film's theme of chaotic escalation supports such a absurd conclusion.
