Synopsis

Send in the Clones

Homer buys a new hammock. When he buys it, he learns it can make clones. He begins making and using the clones to do all of his chores. But when a clone permanently takes care of Flanders, Homer decides to get rid of the clones and the hammock, taking them to the cornfield where he leaves them. It isn't long before the clones use the hammock to make more clones of themselves, and form an army of Homer-clones (one of which is Peter Griffin from Family Guy!), heading their way for Springfield, which they invade. Only Lisa can give them a suggestion to solve the problem. The story is a parody of the 1996 movie Multiplicity.

The Fright to Creep and Scare Harms

Lisa finds the grave of William Bonney, a man who was killed by gun violence, and dreamed of a world without guns. In his memory, she starts a gun control crusade, which makes Springfield 100% gun-free; even the police no longer have guns. Now defenseless, the corpse of William "Billy the Kid" Bonney and his cohorts rise from the dead and start wreaking havoc in town, until Professor Frink develops a time machine, which Homer uses to go back to the recent past to stop the gun ban, and also the zombies.

The Island of Dr. Hibbert

This story—which is mainly a parody of The Island of Dr. Moreau—has the Simpsons going on a trip to "The Island of Lost Souls", where they find Dr. Hibbert run the island's resort. When the family is there, Marge thinks that something creepy is occuring until Dr. Hibbert captures her and turns her into a cat woman. Homer goes to find a cure for Marge's condition, but encounters Ned Flanders, who becomes a cow who needs to be milked. Flanders takes Homer to meet the others who have turned into animals. Homer, initially horrified at what everyone has become, actually decides on being an animal himself.
