In the bowling league, the "Pin Pals" are crushing the competiton giving Homer and the others a huge step toward the trophy, but when Mr. Burns realizes he's given money away, he takes his anger out on the team by joining it.

Meanwhile, Bart wears a shirt with a "Down With Homework" sign on it to school, which horrifies the teachers and Skinner. He then makes uniforms manditory. The uniforms make everyone lose individuality and everything becomes dull. While playing outside, rain starts pouring down and the uniforms turn into tydy colors and everyonme freaks out and starts having fun again.

Homer, Moe and Apu are upset that Burns costs them every game they play and make Homer tell Burns he is off the team, but they have a change of mind when he gets them new uniforms. In a bizzare turn of events, Burns wins the championship game for the team, but he takes the trophy for himself.
