Homer fights through the mob of nerds and leads Mayor Quimby and Mark Hamill to safety. The mayor fires his bodyguards, who were too busy looking at clouds outside and appoints Homer his new bodyguard.
While enjoying the advantages of being a bodyguard Homer stumbles upon Fat Tony's black market of rat milking. Homer demands that the mayor put an end to the sting even though Mayor Quimby knows that Fat Tony will come after him. Homer tries to ease his troubles by taking him out to eat at the Springfield Dinner Theater, where Guys and Dolls is being performed. Fat Tony and his cronies also happen to be there. Homer fights them off but Fat Tony manages to beat Mayor Quimby anyway and send him to the hospital.
