In the first episode, it's Homer against Aporkalypse in a corn eating contest, and Homer wins, he then competes against Cap'n Chompy in a fried shrimp eating contest. The next program is recorded in Alaska, Marge tries to stop Krusty from recording the show, but fails, because Homer completes the contest during their conversation. Back in Springfield, Marge discovers that Homer is not himself anymore, and realizes that she has to talk to Krusty again in the final episode. Marge finds out that Homer will compete against Stampy, and she forces Krusty to let her choose the food.

It turns out that Marge chooses the Krusty-Veg Burger, as the food at the contest, because elephants are vegetarians. When Stampy and Homer start eating the burger, they spit them out, because it's made of 61% seaweed and recycled hamburger. Stampy and Homer become enraged, and begin running amok in Springfield. Later, Homer and Stampy calm down and rest, so Marge tells Krusty that she had no choice but to do this. Krusty tells her that it might not be a total loss, because he can sell it to America's Funniest Maulings. Krusty gets the bill for the contest, he starts to feel sick, and goes to rest with Homer and Stampy.
