Plot
When a vicious dog chases Bart, he takes refuge in the garden of a house belonging to former Western actor Buck McCoy. Buck shows Bart a trick to calm the dog down, making it friendly towards him, and Bart begins to hero-worship Buck. Naturally, Homer learns about Bart's new idol and demands he worship him instead.
To help him out, Bart gets Buck a job on Krusty the Clown's show, but Buck gets drunk and makes a fool of himself on air, crushing Bart. Seeing this, Marge and Homer decide to help Buck overcome his alcoholism, so they clean out Buck's house and enroll him in an Alcoholics Anonymous program. Despite making progress, Buck is not restored to hero-status for Bart, but Homer has an idea.
Homer plans a bank robbery, but when he, Buck and Bart arrive at the bank, a robbery led by Snake is already underway. Buck leaps into action, subdues the bank robbers and becomes a hero in Bart's eyes once again. Bart acknowledges everything Homer has done and declares him to be a hero as well. At the end Bart gets chased by the vicious dog again.
