Homer wipes out his life savings after he invests heavily in pumpkins—but fails to sell them before Halloween. When he returns home from his broker, he is greeted by the sight of his sisters-in-law, Patty and Selma, who have received promotions at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Angry and jealous, Homer literally dumps Patty and Selma out of his home. Homer cannot bring himself to admit to Marge that he has destroyed their savings. He tries borrowing money to meet his mortgage payments, but his credit is so bad even loan sharks refuse him. Desperate, Homer goes to Patty and Selma for help. They write him out a check, saving him from financial ruin. But the sisters get their revenge by driving Homer crazy.

Meanwhile, Bart fails to show up to school on time. When he finally does arrive, he realizes it is the day students sign up for gym class. Because of his tardiness, only ballet class remains open. Embarrassed beyond belief, Bart tells his instructor that ballet is for sissies. Once he dons his tights, however, Bart discovers his natural abilities and falls in love with dancing. Bart fears reprisal from his fellow classmates when he is chosen as lead dancer. Before going on-stage for his first public performance, Bart dons a ski mask. His dancing prowess gains praise even from Jimbo. But when Bart removes the mask, the praise turns to derisive comments, and Bart is chased down by the school bullies.

Patty and Selma are unable to keep their scheme a secret and Marge learns that Homer wiped out their savings. No longer at their mercy, Homer kicks his sisters-in-law out of his home. He decides to take a second job as a limousine driver. While chauffeuring Mel Brooks, Homer is pulled over by Wiggum. The police chief states that all chauffeurs must have a license, and tells Homer to seek out Patty and Selma at the DMV. Patty and Selma seek revenge by failing him. But a supervisor catches the sisters smoking inside the DMV building. Homer takes the blame for the cigarettes, saving their jobs. In trade, Patty and Selma reluctantly erase Homer’s debt.
