 While on a family hike, [[The Simpsons|Simpson family]] discover a new mega mall named "[[Fortune Megastore]]". It has all their needs and desires. The opening for it has drawn a big crowd; [[Mr. Burns]], who's taking a ride in his car, cannot pass through the crowd and decides to see what the hullabaloo is about. Once he enters, [[Mayor Quimby]] announces a very special person has entered. Burns is flattered that they would notice him, but they are really announcing billionaire-tycoon [[Arthur Fortune]], the owner of the store, who, as a crowd pleaser, gives them all free money. Mr. Burns is sad that he is not wanted.
-Mr. Burns decides to win their attention back by enlisting a citizen, [[Homer Simpson|Homer]], to help him gain the town's eye. First they try to copy Arthur by throwing the town money, but they choose to throw silver dollars off a tall building, resulting in physical and bodily damage to the citizens. Next, Mr. Burns asks Homer to bring a check from himself to the Springfield Hospital. He later finds out that they didn't take the check under Burns' name, but under Homer's, and Homer ends up getting a wing named after him. Then, Burns goes on a {{W|Howard Stern}}-type radio show called "[[Jerry Rude]] and the Bathroom Bunch", but he is appalled at the questions and embarrassed when the host makes farting noises. Burns has had all he can take and decides to do something no one's ever done before - find and capture the [[Loch Ness Monster]].
