Synopsis
- "A tattooed man at a mysterious night circus transports Lisa into three strange stories from the innocent 1950s, the chilling retro-present, and a brutalist future where prestige TV rules the world."
Plot
The Simpson family attend to the R. Bradbury's Traveling Night Circus, and Lisa shows her disappointment in being brought there due to hating them, having got three shut down in the last month, but discovers the Illustrated Man, a man with tatoos that bring people to alternate reality, which is just getting fired by the manager. The Illustrated Man shows her the first tatoo and the first story begins.
Bart is in the woods and hears a woman screaming beneath the earth, and runs home to seek help, but Homer and Marge calls it a fib, due to how previously he told there was a boy in the woods crying wolf, but they only found a fat wolf when they investigated and no boy. Frusrated, Bart goes to his room and calls Milhouse on his tin can telephone, but he refuses as he's at his grandma's house, so Bart starts searching for a missing woman in a house, and comes to the Van Houten house, where Luann greets him and listens to his story, but she gives him much milk to get him sleepy.
Bart however wakes himself up and goes to the grave, where he starts hearing the woman singing, and tells Homer about it, who recognizes the song as the one Kirk used to sing at Double Beef Burger. They go to the grave and dig him up. He confirms that Luann is the one that buried him alive for letting Miss Hoover see him buying her hair dye. Wiggum lets her go due to the murder in the 1950s being more acceptable than divorce. Marge tells him they'll never doubt him again, and he tells them that Lisa is a communist and Wiggum takes her away.
Back at the circus, a second story is triggered by a tatoo of cogs. In the future, Chalmers is at Skinner's office and gets quickly tired of his boringness, and goes to Moe's to relieve his stress, where Carl suggests him a solution to his problem, a new technology of a robot that looks just like a person, that he uses to avoid playing with Lenny. Chalmers decides to call the "Marionettes Frinkorporated" company and order one, and takes him to the school to Skinner, but when he goes back on the street he finds Skinner there too.
After a chase, Skinner tells him he bought a robot too to avoid being around him for being the mean one. But soon Carl finds them and tells them to disable the robot because he become sentient and feeling emotions, refusing to let the original go to Niagara Falls to have fun with Lenny, and resorting to violence so he had to kill him. Chalmers and Skinner get to the school but they're too late as the robots have found friendship, and having children call their teachers by name. A fight starts soon after between human and robots but Skinner ends up killing the wrong Chalmers, before going together to the office with the nicer one slightly happier, leaving the real Chalmers body on the ground, bleeding to death.
Lisa was going to go away, before the Illustrated Man tells her to gaze at a final story, where Firefighters break into the Lovejoy house, looking for the forbidden lowbrow entertainment, and they burn down all the apparatus. Homer comes home after work and watch Robber Barons with the family, forced to watch it darkened per indication of the director, as all lowbrow entertainment was outlawed.
At the Springfield Firehouse, Homer tells the others if they ever watched the stuff they burn but Wolfcastle tells him it's illegal before an alarm goes off, and they head to the school.
