Bart Fink and the Mighty Mississip is a Bart Simpson story first printed in Bart Simpson #12.
Synopsis[edit]
- The children of Springfield put on the play Adventures in Mark Twain's America, which Bart rewrites to make more interesting.
Plot[edit]
It is the Mark Twain Days festival in Springfield, and Bart and Lisa have put together a play, Adventures in Mark Twain's America, starring the children of Springfield. However, unbeknownst to Lisa, Bart has rewritten the play to make himself the main character, Bart Fink, who is loosely based on Mike Fink. When Lisa realizes this, she becomes annoyed, as Mike Fink has nothing to do with Mark Twain. In the first scene, Bart tells Huckleberry Finn (Milhouse) that he can shoot an apple off the head of the bartender (Kearney). Huck then goes to meet Tom Sawyer (Nelson), who is taking part in the Calaveras County Frog Race. Tom threatens the other competing frogs. Lisa once again tries to interrupt the play but is told to be quiet.
Bart Fink steals a golden idol from an Egyptian tomb. He then escapes into a science fiction spaceship and flees from a mecha made of corn pone. All of this greatly angers Lisa, who points out that there were no Egyptian tombs or giant killer robots made of corn pone in the 1800s. In the next scene, Huck tells Tom that Becky Thatcher (Martin) has been kidnapped by Injun Apu. They go to Injun Apu's Hideout to rescue her and fight him using lightsabers. Meanwhile, Bart Fink uses a speedboat to return the idol to Injun Apu. However, his boat is attacked by genetically enhanced piranhas. At Injun Apu's Hideout, Tom and Huck have defeated Injun Apu. However, Apu releases giant space worms on the pair of them. Bart's speedboat arrives at the dock too quickly, as he is distracted by the piranhas, and crashes into it, destroying the hideout and the stage and ending the play.
Lisa complains about Bart ruining her play and completely twisting the meaning of Mark Twain's works. However, the audience all loves the play and congratulates Bart on it.
