Synopsis[edit]
- Bart and the school bullies are sentenced to complete "The Highland Trek for Troubled Truants", joined by Martin, who chose to participate voluntarily. Along the way, they find a goat they name Axel, flee from cultists, and search for the "Greatest Of All Treasure". Meanwhile, Lisa wants to be treated like an only child for the weekend.
Plot[edit]
Nelson, Dolph, and Bart are brought to Jebediah Hill by Willie in a van, having been sentenced by the juvenile court to complete "The Highland Trek for Troubled Truants", while Willie himself was sentenced by the adult court. After the bullies pick on Bart, Willie announces that another participant, Martin, will join them—escorted by his parents—and invites them all to seek the greatest of all treasures.
Willie leaves to fulfill his duties as Birthday Dog, and the boys begin their trek toward Trickly River. Bart explains he was sent there for putting laundry pods in the local fountain, Dolph for stealing a heat lamp, and Nelson for stealing coins from the Love Tester at Moe's. Martin, however, chose to attend voluntarily.
Meanwhile, at home, Homer and Marge plan a quiet weekend together, but are interrupted by Lisa, who wants to act like an only child for the weekend. She has already sent Maggie to stay with Patty and Selma and requests to be called Jules.
As the boys continue the trek while mocking Skinner, they discover a baby goat in a cage and take it with them, naming it Axel. Nelson believes Axel is the "Greatest Of All Treasure" Willie mentioned. After more teasing of Martin, they are approached by people claiming the goat is theirs for a sacrifice. The boys flee and manage to escape.
They reach a canoe on the river, but Axel is afraid to get on board. They split into two groups: Bart, Martin, and Axel travel on foot, while Nelson and Dolph take the canoe. Back home, the family plays Suffragette Monopoly, and Lisa becomes agitated about falling behind schedule, warning them of her temper.
Nelson and Dolph struggle with the canoe and eventually land near a fancy Airbnb. Bart, Martin, and Axel get caught in the rain, and Bart lashes out at Martin, saying they'll never be friends and that he's only staying for Axel. At home, Lisa overeats ice cream, gets sick, and is carried upstairs by Homer and Marge to rest.
The cultists track Nelson and Dolph to the Airbnb. Upon learning they no longer have the goat, they trap them in the basement. By the campfire, Martin opens up about the pressures of being the smart kid and reveals he was sentenced for stealing focus-enhancing drugs from a pharmacy. He also accuses Bart of being a follower, prompting Axel to side with Martin.
The next morning, Bart wakes up to Axel licking him—but it's actually snails—and realizes he is alone. Meanwhile, the cultists give Nelson and Dolph one last chance to reveal Axel's location. When they fail, the cultists prepare to sacrifice them.
Back home, Lisa wakes up content, nestled between Homer and Marge. In the woods, Bart follows a trail of Axel's poop and reunites with Martin, admitting he was right. They rush to save Nelson and Dolph, only to discover the cultists are actually student filmmakers shooting a movie, which Bart and Martin inadvertently ruin.
Madison gets angry and attacks the set, causing spinning blades to swing dangerously close to the bullies. Martin uses a waltzer mechanism to rescue them. As Madison finishes filming, Axel eats her phone, destroying the footage. In the end, the bullies accept Martin as a badass, just as they reach Ankle Rock.
Willie is waiting for them and reveals that the true treasure was the journey itself. In response, they begin kicking his van. When Martin's parents arrive, he refuses to leave with them and chooses to ride back with the bad kids. At home, life returns to normal, and Lisa enjoys looking through pictures of her weekend as an only child.
