Plot
The opening consists of Mr. Burns touching God's finger, followed by the actors Mr. Burns and Bumblebee Man as themselves, and Tommy Tune as Smithers, followed by a long list of writers, ending with Lowell Burns and Babaloo Smithers
The first scene opens with Mr. Burns atop a horse wearing a sombrero, rounds of machine gun ammunition draped across his chest. "Simple villagers," he says to a group of people, "I promise you I will close plants in America and bring work here!" Chespirito cries, "Viva Senor Burns!" and the assembled villagers cry, "Viva! Viva!" Burns' horse gallops off, but Burns doesn't manage to stay in the saddle, instead getting dragged back and forth along the ground.
The next scene features Mr. Burns saying, "Remember, Elliot, I'll be right here," on one knee to a child. The tip of his finger lights up briefly; he then enters a spaceship, its door spiraling closed, which takes off into the crimson sky with make the Rainbows.
The next scene shows a Roman centurion on a horse leading a group of shackled prisoners across the desert. The last prisoner, who bears a striking resemblance to Charlton Heston, collapses from exhaustion. A shadow appears over him: a man kneels in front of him, strokes his hair, and hands him a bottle of spring water. "Drink up, Judah Ben Hur," exhorts Mr. Burns. Ben Hur does so, then looks up gratefully and says, "You truly are the king of kings." A heavenly light shines down upon Burns, and he says "Excellent."
Reception
The audience at the film festival reacted angrily and dismissed it as "Pure egotism" and "Self-indulgent tripe." At the very end, everyone booed the film except for Hans Moleman who shouted Boo-urns. Determined to win the festival, Mr. Burns bribed Krusty and Mayor Quimby, both of whom were part of the five person jury. However, he lost out to Barney's film Pukahontas.
Months later, he submitted the film to the Academy Awards, but lost out to a remake of Moleman's Man Getting Hit by Football starring George C. Scott.
