The Simpsons spin a series of summertime stories: first, Homer and the barflies battle marauding wild beasts as members of the Springfield Bear Patrol; then, fearing the planet is on the brink of destruction.
Lisa, Bart, and the rest of the children of Springfield, are determined to retain and remember what is most important to them - the collected cartoon catalog of The Itchy & Scratchy Show - before the world comes to an end.
Finally, Homer gives new meaning to the term 'traveling light' when he takes on airplane weight restrictions by starting his own airline.
