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.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“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)
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
