Plot
Homer, envious of Ned Flanders new motor home, goes to Bob's RV Round-up to buy one of his own, but because his poor credit rating, he only qualifies for a dilapidated one. Thrilled with the new RV, Homer takes his family on an excursion. Driving on remote back roads, the Simpsons find themselves teetering over a precipice. The family escapes the RV before it plummets over the cliff, only to find themselves stranded in the wilderness.
Homer and Bart set out for help, unaware that Maggie is tagging along, while Marge and Lisa stay behind. Separated from Homer and Bart, Maggie is soon adopted by a family of bears. Meanwhile, Homer and Bart are plunged into a raging river where they lose their clothes, forcing them to cover themselves with leaves and mud. Marge and Lisa make themselves comfortable by a campfire, while the boys freeze in the wilderness. The next day, Homer is attacked by bees and escapes them by jumping into a mud pit. A nature photographer takes a picture of Homer, mistaking him for Bigfoot, and soon the forest is inundated with Bigfoot enthusiasts and reward seekers.
Marge, having been rescued along with Lisa by park rangers, identifies the monster in question as her husband. Cold, hungry, and exhausted, Homer and Bart stumble upon the cave housing Maggie and the bears. Homer is soon captured and taken to a lab for testing. The authorities allow Homer to return home after determining he is either a below-average human being or a brilliant beast.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“Those blessed structures, plot and rhyme—
why are they no help to me now
I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
