When they go back home, Bart borrows $5.00 from Homer and sneaks away to see Space Mutants IV at the local movie theater. On his way, he runs into a gang of troublemakers. One of them, Jimbo, invites Bart to sneak into the movies with him and his buddies. They are later thrown out from the the cinema. They then go to the Kwik-E-Mart to steal some stuff, lay on the grass to watch the sacring shape of the clouds and throw rocks at Jebediah's statue. Jimbo wishes someone would cut off the statue's head. When Bart tries to defend the town's hero, Jimbo and the boys laugh at him. Bart asks Homer if popularity is good. Homer says it is the most important thing. To be cool, Bart sneaks out of the house that night and saws the statue's head off.
The next day, all of Springfield grieves the decapitation of the town founder.

Bart starts to listen to the head talking to him. He buries the head in his garden. However, feeling remorse, he later returns home and confesses to his family.

That is how the story ends and Bart tells the crowd that his act has united the town and taught people to appreciate their heritage.
