Springfield is in the midst of a heat wave. The nuclear plant is at capacity and when one of its crack employees, Homer Simpson, plugs in just one appliance too many, the city has a blackout. Looting begins and the police are ineffective. In an attempt to try doing something right for a change, Homer starts his own security company to help keep order. Chief Wiggum finds himself without a job, when Mayor Quimby decides that “Spring Shield” security should become the city’s new police force. Homer shuts down one of Fat Tony’s operations and with that crime is non-existent. Fat Tony makes a public announcement that he is going to gun down Homer if he isn’t out of town by tomorrow at noon. Homer appeals for help, only no one of importance offers to help. The following day, Fat Tony and New Jersey associates a la The Sopranos go to the Simpson home. Shots ring out, effectively wounding Fat Tony and friends. Homer decides to give his badge to the next person he sees, which happens to be Clancy Wiggum. He comments that’s the way he got the job in the past, he also disavows any knowledge of the shots; but we know who the shooter is, it’s Maggie Simpson.
