Rationale for fitted vs residuals plot

Why does examining fitted vs residuals plot help us determine whether there is heteroskedasticity or not? Could someone give me a detailed theoretical rationale for this test? Does the randomness of residuals around the horizontal line y = 0 guarantee homoskedasticity, or does it just support the presence of it?
