Plot
- "After school one day, Bart went to [the] Kwik-E-Mart to buy his favorite candy bar, a BUTTERFINGER®. At the counter, Apu told Bart he didn't have enough to pay for it – he was five cents short. Bart reached for the "leave a penny, take a penny" tray but Apu stopped him. "The tray only speaks of pennies. You are in 'nickel' territory." Bart left the store unhappy, but determined to get the nickel he needed to afford the BUTTERFINGER®. At home, Bart looked everywhere for a nickel but couldn't find one. He tried to borrow it from Lisa but was rejected after she ran his credit. He tried using good manners around Marge, hoping that would trigger some reverse payments from the "swear jar" but Marge told him that wasn't how it worked. Bart then went to the only place he was sure he would find some money – inside the couch cushions. Unfortunately, to search there, he had to wait for Homer to stop watching TV and get off the couch. Bart waited as Homer watched episodes of "Gravy Swimmers," "CSI: Luxembourg," "Spelling Bee Bloopers" then finally fell asleep watching WNBA highlights. As Homer slept, Bart was able to roll him off the couch using fireplace tools. Bart then dug into the cushions, finding not only the nickel he needed, but also three potato chips and a note reading "Nobody touch my potato chips - Homer". Nickel in hand, Bart ran back to the Kwik-E-Mart and bought the BUTTERFINGER®. Wanting to savor the candy bar, he hid it in his tree house, planning to eat it the next day."
Suspects
Homer Simpson
- Height: 72 inches
- Waist:' 53 inches (more on Thanksgiving)
- Reason for Suspicion: Homer eats anything shaped even close to a candy bar. That's how Lisa's flashlight went missing.
- Alibi: He was where he always was whenever anything important happened in his children's lives - Moe's Tavern.
Marge Simpson
- Height: 5 foot 2 (6 foot 1 including hair)
- Special skills: Can change a diaper in 5 seconds flat (but please don't tell Grampa)
- Reason for Suspicion: Hiding a BUTTERFINGER® is nothing. She can hide an entire ham inside her hair.
- Alibi: She's so honest she wouldn't even take a nap unless it was given to her.
Grampa Simpson
- Past offense: Verbal confrontation with a man he said was stealing his face (turned out to be his reflection in a window)
- Common complaints: "It's too cold!", "Water's too wet these days!", "I can't feel anything below my lips!"
- Reason for Suspicion: He was seen in the Retirement Castle home smiling. Anyone that's smiling in that place has done something wrong.
- Alibi: He's an old man, he doesn't accomplish things.
Maggie Simpson
- Top speed: 3 mph (crawling)
- Smells like: baby powder and sour milk
- Reason for Suspicion: Nearby were some toy blocks spelling "CAT". The only people who play with blocks in the Simpson house are Maggie and Homer – and Homer can't spell "cat".
- Alibi: The words that have proved the innocence of suspects through the ages – it was her "nap time."
Lisa Simpson
- Height: 50 inches (127 cm for her metric-speaking friends)
- Hobbies: Saxophone, Grade-grubbing, Being a favorite child
- Reason for Suspicion: One of the logs in Lisa's diorama of Abe Lincoln’s boyhood home looks suspiciously like chocolate.
- Alibi: Buddhism frowns upon stealing. Especially BUTTERFINGERS®.
Milhouse Van Houten
- Identifying feaures: Glasses, Eyebrows, Desperation
- Posture: Weak
- Reason for Suspicion: There's an odd look on his face - it could be guilt, envy or indigestion.
- Alibi: He's not allowed to climb into a kitchen chair let alone a treehouse.
Sideshow Bob
- Criminal record: Yes. For the complete file, see storage lockers 7 through 28.
- Last known address: Cell block D, the one at the end with opera playing inside.
- Reason for Suspicion: You get hungry being Bart's mortal enemy.
- Alibi: "Between prison, rehab, and trying to get my acting career back on track, when do I have time to steal BUTTERFINGERS® ?"
C. Montgomery Burns
- Age: Old
- Pastimes: Long walks on the beach to dump nuclear waste, Exacting revenge, Union busting
- Reason for Suspicion: He has a long, proud history of doing horrible things.
- Alibi: He can't lift a candy bar. He needs helium balloons to even raise his arms.
Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
- Country or origin: Not this one. Thank you for bringing it up
- Hobbies: Work, more work, & hiding from his eight children.
- Reason for Suspicion: Stealing back the same bar he sold to Bart would be nothing. He's been known to take half-empty Squishees from the parking lot and pour them back into the machine.
- Alibi: "As a convenience store owner, I make it a policy to never handle anything fresh or delicious."
Krusty the Clown
- Identifying traits: Big laugh, Wild hair, Bad jokes, Flop sweat
- Known Associates: A half naked sidekick, a chimpanzee and many ex-wives and their lawyers.
- Reason for Suspicion: There were no fingerprints and Krusty is the only one that wears gloves all the time. He's either a thief or constantly going into surgery.
- Alibi: He has a warehouse full of his own candy bars – Krusty Krunches, and is ready to unload them on the public as soon as people forget the second ingredient is sawdust.
Nelson Muntz
- Height: Normal for a kid doing his third tour of the 4th grade
- Caution: Bare-armed and known to administer purple nurples
- Reason for Suspicion: He has a sweet tooth (which he knocked out from Martin Prince and put in his own mouth).
- Alibi: A stolen BUTTERFINGER® would be his third strike.
Comic Book Guy
- Weight: 152 lbs (on Mars)
- Profession: "My name is 'Comic Book Guy' - what do you think?"
- Reason for Suspicion: He enjoy "treats" so much, he calls them "mandatories".
- Alibi: Due to some poor planning, he can't get out of the door of his apartment – hence, the perfect alibi, also the reason he gets groceries delivered and has no suntan.
Clues
Week 1
Bart's listed every person in Springfield who might have a grudge against him but that list is too long to be useful. So, he's narrowed it down to these suspects...
Week 2
Fact: Bart bought the bar at Kwik-E-Mart but it was stolen from his treehouse. Reading that sentence you've already done more than the Springfield Police.
Week 3
Since the bar was taken from Bart's treehouse, the culprit must be able to climb a tree, or really good at training squirrels, or has hired and studied under very qualified squirrel instructors.
