Homer, who still wants to party, rents an airboat and forces his family to come with him. He races through a swamp, accidentally killing the state's most famous resident and reptile – an alligator named Captain Jack, whom Marge, Maggie, Lisa, and Bart saw on a tour earlier, while Homer made a fool of himself at the concert. A sheriff quickly arrives on the scene, and although Homer is the sole guilty culprit, the entire family is charged for killing the alligator. The family flees from the sheriff and during a car chase they are hit by a train that pushes their car on the rails for several miles. Eventually, the car is dislodged from the train, and the Simpsons escape to a restaurant, where they are given employment. They live in a nearby trailer and progressively turn into hillbillies.
