Plot[]
After Ren does several cruel things (including prank phone calls, contaminating tap water, roaring at baby birds, and almost killing a fly by trying to rip one of its wings off), Stimpy lends his conscience, Jiminy Lummox, to Ren to set him right. However, this seems to upset Ren even more.
Jimminy appears whenever Ren is mean to Stimpy, and unfortunately, Stimpy is constantly doing things to aggravate Ren, such as using his false teeth to descale fish or washing his collection of celebrity underwear. Tired of the constant pummelings, Ren asks the conscience if 'he' has a conscience of his own. Jimminy says he does, and shows them Tinker Galoot, which is actually Kowalski in a fairy suit. Ren hits Stimpy, Jimminy hits Ren and Tinker hits Jimminy.
