At the Springfieldia Human Power Plant, Homer and the others are working as slaves for Lord Montgomery, pushing a manual power generator wheel.

Lisa takes Homer down an alley to tell him that she has a solution. Using magic she turns a lead piece into gold, however she can't use her powers or the King will take her away and turn her into an evil wizard.
