Synopsis[edit]
- After the stock market crashes, shabbily dressed former Internet trillionaires roam the streets like zombies, leading Mayor Quimby to declare it illegal to not have any money. Maggie is put on trial for this new crime as the Simpsons work on her defense.
Plot[edit]
On Buzzwitness News 6, Kent Brockman reports on a group of shabbily dressed Internet trillionaires coming to Springfield, where the town comes together to feed and shelter them. However, soon the stock market crashes, leaving them all penniless. Months later, the former trillionaires are wandering the streets like zombies as the people of Springfield hide in the First Church of Springfield. As the townspeople discuss what to do about the former trillionaires, Mayor Quimby declares that it is now illegal to not have any money. Hearing this, Mr. Burns accuses Maggie Simpson of not having money. Chief Wiggum tries to arrest the baby, but Marge doesn't let him. Wiggum says that she'll be placed under house arrest instead while Lisa tells him that he's not a judge so he can't sentence Maggie, and the law hasn't even passed yet. Wiggum places a call to Vesper, a federal agent, and gets Lisa put on the no-fly list.
Soon, Maggie's trial starts. Gil Gunderson is the defense lawyer, but upon hearing that Maggie doesn't have any money, he stands down. Lisa then comes to Maggie's defense and gives her opening statement and asks for the charges to be dismissed. However, Judge Snyder shoots her down. Maggie then starts flailing about trying to tell the court something. When Maggie is allowed to approach the bench, she pulls out a large stack of bills, showing that she does actually have money. Judge Snyder declares Maggie not guilty.
On the way home, Homer is shocked that Maggie has money and asks if he can hold it and how she got it. Maggie points to a book, Crime Baby, in the window of a shop, which is supposedly written by her, but was ghostwritten by Kent Brockman's ghostwriter. The family realizes that Maggie got involved with the book when Homer was looking after her, which he should have realized because Oprah Winfrey showed up at the house on that day. As the family walks past the Chamber of Art, Maggie points out an Alexander Calder sculpture that she wants for $124,999.99, roughly the amount of money she got from the book deal. Marge buys it for her and puts it over Maggie's crib while Homer and Marge argue because Homer wanted to spend the money.
