St. Patrick's Day in [[Springfield]] is booze free due to the amount of violence every year with booze.

After Ned and Homer's falling out, Ned discovers that Homer skipped bail and is asked to retrieve him. Ned and Homer engage in a dramatic chase through the streets of Springfield. They end up on a construction site(Spoof of Casino Royale,2006), where Homer realizes he likes Ned's company and saves him from falling off an I-beam. The two, however, end up buried in cement. Homer is sent to serve a short jail term and Marge sends him a cake that she says will remind Homer of her. The cake reads, "To the love of my life."

Synopsis[edit]

Intrigued, he decides to try his hand at the profession - but is saved by Flanders when it doesn't go quite to plan.

Plot[edit]

The family in St. Patrick's style

St. Patrick's Day in Springfield is booze free due to the amount of violence every year with booze. The lack of alcohol is blamed for exacerbating a conflict between Irish and Northern Irish tourists, which results in a city-wide brawl. Meanwhile, Marge's cupcakes are stolen by a group of urchins and saved by Patrick Farrelly, a baker who offers Marge a job after tasting her cupcakes and realizing her talent.

In court, Homer is after The Mulk for their involvement in the brawl. Homer is told to pay $25,000 bail money and to go and see a bondsman. He goes to Bail Bonds and meets the bondsman Lucky Jim who tells him that if he skips court, he will have to deal with Wolf the Bounty Hunter, who brings in a battered Gil Gunderson with him. This gets Homer excited about becoming a bounty hunter and Wolf allows him to skip the $10 fee and online test to become one instantly.

Marge, at her new job, is wondering why she is only told to bake cylinders, spheres and half-moon shaped cakes. Patrick stalls before he hears customers come in. These turn out to be Patty and Selma who buy an erotic cake. Then, Marge realizes that it is an erotic bakery and wants to quit. However, Patrick gets her to stay on.

Homer's first target as a bounty hunter is Snake. He sets up a trap, selling an apartment and those who have skipped bail are welcome. He and Gloria come along and then Homer chases Snake down an alley when he pulls out a gun and after a bit of talking, shoots Homer in the head. Homer thinks he is going to die just as Ned Flanders gets in the way with bullet-proof glass, which he was using to fix the Leftorium. The bullet rebounds and hits Snake in the arm, who is then cuffed and Homer gets the reward, only to give some of it to Ned and asks him to become a team.

Back at the Simpson home, Homer asks Marge if she can bake a cake for Lisa's birthday, to which she slaps him. Homer asks why and she replies that it was a muscle spasm, slapping herself a couple of times and then Homer to prove her point. She then tells Homer that she is an erotic baker and they then decide to go to bed with the cake as well.

Homer's breast appears during a "bounty-hunt"

Homer and Ned's first target together is Fat Tony. They wait outside Luigi's for him, eating Pizza and bonding together when they see him. They chase after him and eventually catch him after Homer drives onto a train. Ned gets angry about this and breaks up the partnership. Homer then becomes upset about Ned breaking up with him.

After a few hours of Ned reciting the Old Testament of the Bible and the start of the New Testament, they are taken out and Homer is put into prison and gets a cake from Marge to remind him of her, telling Homer that she loves him.
