[[Sideshow Bob]] is free and he begins training [[Jimbo]], [[Nelson]], [[Dolph]] and [[Kearney]] to become the master criminals. [[Chief Wiggum]] forces [[Bart]] to join [[Sideshow Bob]]'s program.
+
After rendering a warden unconscious during a prison riot so 'he wouldn't have to witness the violence', [[Sideshow Bob]] is a free man. His lawyer is now demanding 10,000 dollars which is to be paid within seven days. Bob has no idea how he can obtain the money.

After rendering the warden unconscious during a prison riot so, 'he wouldn't have to witness the violence,' Bob is a free, 'compassionate,' man. Problem is, his lawyer, (who was napping throughout the court session,) is demanding 10, 000 dollars, which is to be paid within seven days. Bob is skeptical of how he's going to get his hands on that kind of money.
+
Bob contemplates on how he should build his life anew, but he has no money to do so. He realizes he will never find any honest work befitting him with his education and refinement. Despite Bob's claims of how he's reformed, [[Chief Wiggum]] insists he will be keeping an eye on him every minute of every day. Bob knows that any attempt he makes to go straight will fail, and he decides to resume his life of crime.
  
−
In the Quick-E-Mart, [[Apu]] has his hands up at the sight of a Zagnut bar, claiming he doesn't have ten-thousand, but Bob is free to ransack the register and keep whatever he finds. Bob insists he was only asking if Apu could loan ten-thousand.
+
The following day, Bob arrives disguised at a bank and prepares to start a stick-up, until [[Lou]] cuts in. Later on, he moves his crime spree elsewhere to 'Jim's Genuine Gems and Cheap Imitations' only to find Chief Wiggum inside. He finally attempts to disassemble a parking meter until he is stopped by a rogue cop. Realizing that cops are basically following him everywhere, Bob gives up.
  
−
Outside, Bob has a Squishee and a copy of the, 'Medical Literature Today.' He says it's wonderful to be free again, despite his underfunds. He contemplates on how he should build his life anew, but he has no money to do so. This leads to thoughts of possible careers. For example, working at a Drive-thru in a restaurant, but he deems it not to be, since he should find a job worthy of, '[his] intellectual acumen.' He then wonders if being a street performer could sustain his refined tastes. That imagination, however, is ruined by an incoming tomato from [[Comic Book Guy]], who comments on Bob's impression of, 'The Mighty Thor during his epic battle with Hela,' stating it was astoundingly bad, (when Robert was merely reciting Shakespeare,).
+
Bob catches [[Nelson]], [[Jimbo]], [[Dolph]] and [[Kearney]] attempting to steal his wallet. When they find out who he is, they regard him as an idol.  
  
−
Mildly depressed, Bob realizes he will never find any honest work befitting him with his education and refinement. He knows he can't go back to a life of crime, but then [[Agnes]] walks past,  with a purse brimmed with money, or, rather, popping out of it. Bob comments on how she's practically begging for someone to steal her purse, and tries to restrain himself, until Chief Wiggum shows up. The chief says Bob might as well, 'put the kibosh,' on whatever diabolical scheme he's cooking up. Despite Bob's claims of how he's reformed, Wiggum insists he will be keeping an eye on him every minute of every day... until he spots a sign promoting  coffee, which declares it is on sale. Robert now knows that any attempt he makes to go straight will fail, and he silently thanks the Chief for showing him that, which leads him to resume his old ways. Oh, and the Squishee is awfully refreshing too.
+
Bob asks for a loan for his new VCR and Pet Sitting Business, although the loaner quickly flees in terror after signing the agreement. The business is actually an incognito crime school. Nelson, Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney agree to join the school. The bullies learn techniques such as skateboarding around cops and firing slingshots at them. They are also encouraged to cheat on tests. They successfully steal money from a number of places including the [[Kwik-E-Mart]] and church by distracting the employees.
  
−
The following day, Bob arrives, disguised, at a bank, and prepares to start a stick-up, until [[Lou]] cuts in about how Bob shouldn't fall for the bank attendant's bogus, 'free checking,' deal. Lou states it's as free as Tibetan in Japan, but Robert replies, 'That's China, you idiot.' The officer overhears that, and then asks what was said, and Bob regains himself, (realizing he was speaking to the police,) stating how he'd feel like an idiot if he opened an account at any bank that didn't give away free China. Later on, he moves his crime spree elsewhere, to, 'Jim's Genuine Gems and Cheap Imitations,' only to find Chief Wiggum inside, buying an "anniversary" gift. D'ohing, he goes somewhere else, ending up dressed a surgeon-like outfit, attempting to disassemble a parking meter. A rather buff man stands behind him, and Bob asks who he's supposed to be. Apparently, he's a rogue cop in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Realizing that cops are basically following him everywhere, Robert gives up on trying to take the parking meter apart.
+
Meanwhile [[Bart]] is pulling a number of pranks on [[Principal Skinner]] and the church until he is caught by Chief Wiggum. Wiggum offers to brush off his pranks if he infiltrates Bob's gang. Bart persuades the bullies to let him in and Bob obliges so he can get close to Bart and eventually have revenge. Bart proves to be a natural at his crime lessons and Bob is so impressed he changes his mind on harming him.
  
−
A while later, he thinks over his problem of finding money, only to be pushed past deliberately by Nelson, Jimbo, and Dolph, who plan to steal his wallet while Kearney observes. Bob catches them in the act, and says he knows a guy who served time with another guy who invented that technique. He asks them if they know who he is. Kearney responds to the others that he thinks that's his dentist due to Bob's appearance. Bob declares his name and the fact he tried to murder Bart Simpson, and the others seem to regard him as an idol after that; Dolph asks him to teach them his ways, but Bob rejects that, telling them not to be like him, but to lead, 'a life of nobility, kindness, and humanity.' Nelson says they'll pass on that motion, but thanks him anyway. A billboard seems to be, 'speaking,' to Bob; at first, it seems to be the big one with clear, white letters of, 'GO STRAIGHT,' whilst one of the men plastering that billboard shouts at the other about how it supposed to be ALL black.
+
Bob is preparing a 'master crime' although Bart doesn't know what it is so he cannot help the police. He instead lies about the location and also tells Lisa what he has been doing. The crime actually involves kidnapping Mr. Burns while he is giving a speech by a hospital. Burns is forced into an ambulance and Bart is asked to tie him to a chair while Bob drives. They are stopped by police and Bob accuses Bart of betrayal (in reality Lisa had followed Bart and led the police to him). Bob attempts to kill Bart with an injection, until Bart electrocutes him with a defibrillator, knocking him out. Bob is arrested by Wiggum.

Plot[edit]

After rendering a warden unconscious during a prison riot so 'he wouldn't have to witness the violence', Sideshow Bob is a free man. His lawyer is now demanding 10,000 dollars which is to be paid within seven days. Bob has no idea how he can obtain the money.

Bob contemplates on how he should build his life anew, but he has no money to do so. He realizes he will never find any honest work befitting him with his education and refinement. Despite Bob's claims of how he's reformed, Chief Wiggum insists he will be keeping an eye on him every minute of every day. Bob knows that any attempt he makes to go straight will fail, and he decides to resume his life of crime.

The following day, Bob arrives disguised at a bank and prepares to start a stick-up, until Lou cuts in. Later on, he moves his crime spree elsewhere to 'Jim's Genuine Gems and Cheap Imitations' only to find Chief Wiggum inside. He finally attempts to disassemble a parking meter until he is stopped by a rogue cop. Realizing that cops are basically following him everywhere, Bob gives up.

Bob catches Nelson, Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney attempting to steal his wallet. When they find out who he is, they regard him as an idol.

Bob asks for a loan for his new VCR and Pet Sitting Business, although the loaner quickly flees in terror after signing the agreement. The business is actually an incognito crime school. Nelson, Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney agree to join the school. The bullies learn techniques such as skateboarding around cops and firing slingshots at them. They are also encouraged to cheat on tests. They successfully steal money from a number of places including the Kwik-E-Mart and church by distracting the employees.

Meanwhile Bart is pulling a number of pranks on Principal Skinner and the church until he is caught by Chief Wiggum. Wiggum offers to brush off his pranks if he infiltrates Bob's gang. Bart persuades the bullies to let him in and Bob obliges so he can get close to Bart and eventually have revenge. Bart proves to be a natural at his crime lessons and Bob is so impressed he changes his mind on harming him.

Bob is preparing a 'master crime' although Bart doesn't know what it is so he cannot help the police. He instead lies about the location and also tells Lisa what he has been doing. The crime actually involves kidnapping Mr. Burns while he is giving a speech by a hospital. Burns is forced into an ambulance and Bart is asked to tie him to a chair while Bob drives. They are stopped by police and Bob accuses Bart of betrayal (in reality Lisa had followed Bart and led the police to him). Bob attempts to kill Bart with an injection, until Bart electrocutes him with a defibrillator, knocking him out. Bob is arrested by Wiggum.
