After Homer caused an electrical blackout in Springfield, all of the citizens began looting businesses. [[Chief Wiggum]] was incompetent in restoring order, so Homer decided to take the law into his own hands and set up SpringShield. Although Homer, [[Lenny]], and [[Carl]] were the only employees, they had a lot of business due to a television commercial which [[Marge]] described as "very effective". They also turned out to be much more efficient at fighting crime than the [[Springfield Police Department]]. Because of this, [[Mayor Quimby]] fired Chief Wiggum and proclaimed SpringShield to be Springfield's new police force. As a symbol of the transfer of authority, Quimby took the Chief's badge away from Wiggum and gave it to Homer.

While at the Springfield City Dump, Bart found a box of Mr. Sparkle detergent. He called over Homer and Lisa to look at the box, and they were all shocked that it had a picture of Homer on the front. Homer took the box to Akira at The Happy Sumo, who told Homer that it was Mr. Sparkle, and was surprised to find that the mascot looked like Homer. Homer later called the Mr. Sparkle Factory in Japan to ask why they were using his likeness on the box. He later received a videotape for American investors with a commercial for Mr. Sparkle included. The end of the commercial revealed the truth behind Mr. Sparkle: it was a merger of the companies Matsumura Fishworks, which had a fish logo, and Tamaribuchi Heavy Manufacturing Concern, which had a lightbulb logo. The two logos together made Mr. Sparkle, meaning the resemblance to Homer was a coincidence...
