 Krusty announces on ''{{Krusty show}}'' that he wants a family to hold a party in their house to promote his vodka brand, Abolut Krusty. [[Bart]] enters the competition and wins. Bart is then told that he can only have one friend come to the party, even though he won the competition and that they must stay out of the way.
-At the party, Mr. Burns comes along, scaring a lot of the guests off. After seeing how Homer is with the guests, Mr. Burns decides to promote Homer to accountant and is given his own office and secretary, [[Dotty]], in the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Executives Building]].

 Homer starts working, drinking [[Bourbon]] to help him get through important meetings and to loosen up. He starts spending less time with his family and coming home late. After coming home late one night, Homer and Marge tell Bart to read to [[Lisa]] and Lisa ends up teaching Bart how to read ''[[Little Women]]'' and he eventually ends up reading this to the school bullies.
-Eventually, Marge, who is now fed up of this new Homer, asks for him to go on vacation with them. At the same time, Homer decides to take the [[Nuclear regulator]]s to the same vacation spot they are going, [[Rattler River Canyon]]. As both rafts are about to go over a waterfall, Homer has a choice to make. Save his family or work. He chooses to save his family and Robert Marlow saves Mr. Burns before they go over the waterfall.
