The Crepes Of Wrath is the eleventh episode of The Simpsons' first season and originally aired April 15, 1990. The episode was written by George Meyer, Sam Simon, John Swartzwelder and Jon Vitti, and was directed by Wes Archer and Milton Gray. In the episode, Bart is sent to France on a student exchange trip, where his hosts treat him as a slave. Meanwhile, an Albanian student takes Bart's place in the Simpsons family, and shows great interest in Homer's work at the nuclear power plant.

The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, and in 1997, David Bauder from TV Guide named this episode the greatest episode of The Simpsons, and the 17th greatest episode of any television show of all time.

Plot

While being forced to clean his room (after accidentally causing Homer to trip down the stairs, hurting his back), Bart discovers an old cherry bomb, and decides to flush it down the boy's restroom toilet at school. This decision is unknowingly made at the same time as Principal Skinner's mother, Agnes Skinner, is in the girl's restroom. The resulting explosion blows Mrs. Skinner off the toilet.

Shortly afterwards, Principal Skinner arrives at the Simpsons' house with Bart in tow. Skinner explains that the incident has 'transcended incorrigible.' Feeling that detention, suspension or expulsion won't do, he suggests deportation. The idea shocks Marge, but Skinner explains his plan: In order to be rid of him, Skinner proposes to the Simpsons that Bart should participate in a foreign exchange program. Bart is sent to France, whereas the Simpsons host a student from Albania named Adil Hoxha.

In France, Bart is greeted by Cesar & Ugolin, who work him worse than their donkey. After confiscating all of Bart's clothes and items, Bart is made to collect and crush grapes, sleep on the floor, and test wine adulterated with antifreeze.

Back at the Simpsons, it is revealed Adil is actually a spy who is after nuclear secrets, which he intends to obtain from Homer. Homer is happy that Adil is taking an interest in his work, and promptly shows him around the plant.

Back in France, Bart is sent out for a case of antifreeze. As he wanders the streets, he finds a police officer, who, sadly, doesn't understand Bart's English. When he gives Bart a piece of candy, Bart then leaves, feeling that he will never learn French, even though he has been there for two months. He then suddenly starts speaking French, and tells the officer about the child abuse and how they put the anti-freeze in the wine. Ceaser and Ugolin are swiftly arrested for the anti-freeze in the wine, and Bart becomes a national hero in France.

Back in the 'States, Adil is caught by the FBI and is exchanged for a boy who is an American spy caught in Albania. As Adil leaves, Bart returns, and his family is grateful to see him again.
