Plot

Mr. Burns is reminescing his youth, while recieving a double shot of fresh blood, and to relive part of it, Smithers plans a party at his Summer Mansion, but Burns cheaps it out, and sends Smithers to Canada to bring some leak ice.

Smithers brings Homer some invitations so he can invite some people to the party, and he brings them to the parking lot of the Try-N-Save.

Arriving at the mansion, however, they find out that Burns cheaped out, and the party is so boring, and they leave. While Smithers is having some trouble on a raft in Canada, Homer consoles Burns at the pier, when they spot a party right across, so they cross over with a boat, with Burns inciting Homer with a whip.

The two arrive at the party, trying to crush it, and discover that the host, Jay G, likes Mr. Burns as he is his role model and thanks him for making him become who he is.

Meanwhile, Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie visit the city and go to an ice cream shop, where Lisa meets Blake, a rich man that wants to hang out with her and she agrees to meet him, while Bart meets Jazzy James.

Jay G brings Homer and Burns on his private plane and gives Burns a special credit card for his spendings, meanwhile Blake and Lisa do whalewatching, but Blake's brutal means to bring the whale near the boat makes Lisa positively furious.

Jay G invites Burns, with Homer tagging along, to buy a lot of stuff for really high prices, and slowly empties out his bank account, while the rest of the family meets Blake again at a horse show, who spent his money on a protest for horse justice, but another boy offers her grooming time with the horses and she accepts, dumping Blake.

In Canada, Smithers' misadventures continues, when trying to answer Burns' call, he breaks his phone and loses his gloves, but Burns soon finds out his trouble are worse, as his car is declined, as he is broke. Repossessors comes to his mansion to retrieve all his high expensive belongings, while Homer shows him that Jay G was the one that conned him to bankruptcy, and he is reduced in crying after finding it out, as he hit rock bottom.
