 == Plot ==
-After Lisa asks him if there has ever been a hero in the Simpsons family, Grampa begins to tell the story of his ancestor also named Homer Simpson, who was an adventurer on the high seas.
+Lisa finds [[Marge]]'s family album whilst going through old memorabilia with [[Homer]], Bart and Grampa. She discovers several heroic figures within the [[Bouvier family]], and asks if there has ever been a Simpson hero. Grampa replies that there was one "celebrated in song and story" - another Homer Simpson, who was a whaler, and an adventurer on the high seas.
-The story then moves to the past where Homer, a crew member on a whaling ship, is left in charge of melting down chunks of whale blubber into oil; everything is fine until Homer accidentally gets some whale oil in his mouth and instantly develops an appetite for it, soon desiring increasingly larger doses to satisfy his cravings. After the ship's crew discover that he has eaten much of their food store, Captain Burns has Homer tied to the mast as punishment. The whale [[Moby Dick]] then appears, and Homer, eager for a taste, bites into the whale's tail. However, he gets stuck and is dragged all the way to the [[Bermuda]] Triangle, where the pair disappear forever. This also makes Homer the first person to vanish in the Bermuda Triangle.

After the ship's crew discover that he has eaten much of their stocks of blubber, Captain [[Burns]] has Homer tied to the mast as punishment. The whale [[Moby Dick]] then approaches the ship, and Homer, eager for a taste, bites into the whale's tail. Not letting go, he is dragged all the way to the Bermuda Triangle, where he disappears, along with the ship he is still tied to; this made Homer the first person to vanish in the Triangle.
-In the present, Lisa says she doubts Abe's story, although Bart admits he doesn't care.
+Back in the present, Lisa doubts the truthfulness of this story, particularly as nobody involved lived to tell the tale. Bart protests, but glumly accepts that Lisa is right. However, he discovers a harpoon in the attic that proves the story, which he then uses to chase Homer about the house.
