Burns introduces Homer to Aristotle Amadopolis, the owner of the nuclear power plant in neighboring Shelbyville. Burns forces Homer to deliver a motivational speech to the Shelbyville workers. During Homer's fumbling address, an impending meltdown threatens the Shelbyville plant. In the control room, Amadopolis asks Homer to avert the disaster. Homer repeats his rhyme and blindly presses a button. By sheer luck, he again avoids a meltdown. Amadopolis thanks Homer for saving the plant but berates him for his stupidity. Soon the phrase "to pull a Homer", meaning "to succeed despite idiocy," becomes a widely used catchphrase; its dictionary entry is illustrated by Homer's portrait.
