Having learned from a
Zorro movie how to challenge someone to a duel by slapping them with a glove,
Homer goes around town slapping people and getting his way, until a gun-toting Southern
colonel accepts his challenge. The next morning, the colonel and his wife wait outside the Simpsons' house. The family flee to the
farmhouse where Homer grew up. Homer becomes a farmer, but the
land is poor and nothing grows. He then calls
Lenny and asks for some
plutonium. With plutonium, the crops grow, but since Homer had mixed tomato seeds with tobacco seeds, a new plant is created, resembling a tomato, but with brown, tobacco-flavored flesh. Homer calls the mutated crop "Tomacco"; it tastes terrible, but is highly addictive. Homer and
Marge set up a stall, selling Homer's Tomacco and Marge's fresh-baked
mincemeat pie. While the pies do not sell well, the Tomacco is such a success that executives from
Laramie Cigarettes offer to buy the rights to it for $150 million.
Lisa protests that the Simpsons cannot accept the tobacco executives' money, but Homer does not understand what she means and rejects the offer as insulting, demanding $150 billion, which they refuse. While the Simpsons are negotiating, Tomacco-addicted animals from other farms break into their fields and eat their crop. Holding the only plant left, the family run into the house, where Lisa urges Homer to destroy it; he refuses, until the crazed animals break into the house itself. He tosses the plant into the air, and it lands in the hands of a Laramie executive who happens to be there. The executives' helicopter leaves, but a Tomacco-addicted sheep has stowed away and attacks them. The helicopter crashes, killing everyone on board except the sheep, and destroying the final Tomacco plant. The Simpsons return home to find that the Southern gentleman and his wife are still waiting for the duel. It takes place: Homer is shot in the arm, but declines to go to the hospital until he has had some of Marge's mincemeat pie. == Production ==
