Plot
The Simpson family is at Duff stadium watching a Springfield Isotopes baseball game. After the first pitch Homer, becoming increasingly annoyed by the poor performance of the Isotopes, goes and waits in the car. While in the car, he starts to sing the "Hitler is a jerk" song. Months later, he enters Moe's Tavern and is informed by Lenny and Carl that the Isotopes are in the playoffs, and have, so far, been playing well. Homer quickly joins in with the fans to support the Isotopes, who end up winning the National League pennant. To celebrate Homer, Lenny, Carl, and Barney go on a drunken binge and in the process vandalize Springfield Elementary School. The next morning, Homer discovers his car, which is badly damaged, and is oblivious that in reality he and his friends were responsible. Chief Wiggum blindly jumps to the conclusion that the vandalism at the school is the work of kids and immediately enforces a curfew on all of Springfield's children, prohibiting them from being on the streets after sunset.
Bart and Lisa, as well as the other children of Springfield, are bored with not being allowed out after sunset. The children soon rally together to rebel and see an old drive-in horror movie which they saw advertised on television, called The Bloodening. While at the movie, the movie was interrupted as they are caught by Chief Wiggum. As punishment, the children have to clean a billboard with Wiggum on it. Annoyed at this, the children set up a radio show called "We Know All Your Secrets", in which they expose the secrets of the adults of Springfield like the kids in the movie. The children are tracked down at the billboard by Professor Frink's machine, and an argument between the children and the adults ensues. As each side is stating their case in a song, the senior citizens turn up, join in the song, to complain to everyone and suggest a curfew for all those aged under 70. The curfew is approved due to the senior's passing by a single vote due to Homer not wanting to participate. The Springfield elders begin to play on the streets at night as if they were children but at least one of the seniors is being aggressive towards them.

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)
“If you need a certain vitality you can only supply it yourself, or there comes a point, anyway, when no one’s actions but your own seem dramatically convincing and justifiable in the plot that the number of your days concocts.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickens ... with the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
