Unfortunately, he manages to blow up the set before the cameras are rolling, ruining the entire film. The director is beside himself, fires Bakshi immediately and wants him blacklisted. However, instead of being blacklisted, Bakshi's name is accidentally written on the guest list of the studio boss's party.
