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:
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“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)
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
