The first act is composed of various Tracey Ullman shorts, like Good Night, The Perfect Crime, Space Patrol, World War III (in 1987), and Bathtime in 1989. Troy also has a "talk" with the "real" Matt Groening.
Next, Troy answers some viewer mail. One person asks whats the deal with Smithers. The answer is Smithers being Mr. Burns' assistant and his alleged and closeted homosexuality, and someone else asks if Homer is getting dumber each season from Season 2 to Season 6.
The final act is made up of a deleted scenes reel, in episodes such as Krusty Gets Kancelled, $pringfield, Homer and Apu and Burns' Heir. The alternate ending to Who Shot Mr. Burns is also shown, which reveals Smithers is the shooter. There are also unaired scenes involving Barney, Tito Puente, Moe, Apu and Santa's Little Helper shooting Mr. Burns each with different guns.
It at the end mentions two new possible episodes for the next series, neither of which came.
