Thanks to a fine [[Mr. Burns]] had to pay for illegally dumping [[radioactive waste]] in a playground, Springfield came into possession of $3,000,000 (though [[Mayor Quimby]] attempted to pocket a million dollars for himself). A town meeting was held to decide what to do with the money. The townspeople were on the verge of adopting [[Marge Simpson]]'s proposal to use the money to repair Main Street when a man named [[Lyle Lanley]] interrupted the meeting and suggested using it to buy one of his monorails. Lanley's sales pitch trumped Marge's proposal, and the town built the monorail. Some people voiced concerns about the practicality of a monorail in Springfield, but Lanley deftly skirted around their questions. [[Homer Simpson]] became the conductor of the monorail, chosen at random after an "extensive 3 week training course", which actually consisted solely of the meaning of the monorail's name (mono = one; rail = rail).

In his prime, Buck McCoy acted in many Westerns, including ''[[Texas Rangers Ride Again]]'', ''[[Wyatt Earp Meets the Mummy]]'', ''[[Six Brides for Seven Brothers]]'', and ''[[Six-Gun Lullaby]]''. However, when the 1970s came along, Westerns were no longer popular, so McCoy starred in the show ''[[McTrigger]]'' until he was written out of the show. After this, he became an alcoholic and barely left [[Buck McCoy's mansion|his mansion]] in [[Springfield]].
  
[[Marge]] was not convinced by Lanley's charm and decided to go to [[North Haverbrook]] to see what a monorail had done for their town. She arrived to see the monorail in ruins and North Haverbrook a veritable ghost town, devastated by "one of the crappiest trains ever built", and learned that Lanley had deliberately cut every corner possible and then skipped town with all of the leftover money. The result: North Haverbrook's monorail crashed almost instantly, causing tremendous property damage and loss of life...

In his prime, Buck McCoy acted in many Westerns, including Texas Rangers Ride Again, Wyatt Earp Meets the Mummy, Six Brides for Seven Brothers, and Six-Gun Lullaby.
