"Bart the Hero" is the thirty-sixth Simpsons short. It aired on The Tracey Ullman Show on January 29, 1989.
During a jog forced on by Homer, Bart accidentally stops a criminal from escaping a robbery in a candy store, as he intended to buy a candy bar and mistook the criminal as the clerk. He is then interviewed and is offered $10,000, much to Homer and Lisa's delight as they view the news back at home although Bart turns the money down and wants it to be paid in candy bars which shocks Homer.
