Synopsis[edit]

Lisa goes to Camp Mel-O-Cool, a music camp, for the summer, but has a horrible time. That changes when she meets her saxophone instructor, Justin.

Plot[edit]

Lisa boards the school bus to go to Camp Mel-O-Cool, a saxophone camp, for the summer. Marge tells her that her canker sore will be gone before she knows it, and Homer tells her not to spend her own money, but to mooch it off her friends instead. This embarrasses Lisa, who can't wait to get away from her family. On the journey, Lisa is optimistic about the camp, despite a girl constantly playing "Yakety Sax". The bus arrives in a polluted forest filled with radioactive waste barrels, which concerns Lisa. Her concerns are confirmed when the bus pulls up at the camp, revealing that it is run-down and dirty.

Lisa hates her time at the camp as it is cold, and somebody puts liquid soap in her saxophone. She thinks that it's worse than Kamp Krusty and decides to call Homer to come and pick her up. Before she can, Justin is introduced as her saxophone instructor. Lisa immediately becomes smitten with Justin and decides to stay at the camp and even sign up for the next year. Justin has all the campers play "Yakety Sax", which Lisa happily does.
