Bart falls in love with his beautiful new neighbor, Laura Powers, who babysits for the Simpsons while Homer and Marge enjoy the "all-you-can-eat" special at the Flying Dutchman. When Homer consumes almost all the food in the restaurant, Captain McCallister throws him out, before he is even finished eating.

Outraged, Homer decides to sue and hires Lionel Hutz to represent him. Meanwhile, Laura shows up at Bart's window wearing a pretty dress. Bart thinks that she has come to profess her love for him, but Laura has only come to tell Bart that she's now dating Jimbo Jones.

Homer's case goes to trial and Laura comes over to babysit. The Captain agrees to an out-of-court settlement, featuring Homer in the front window of his reataurant as "Bottomeless Pete--Nature's Cruelest Mistake." Back at the Simpsons' home, Laura invites Jimbo over. To get rid of him permanently, Bart makes a prank call to Moe indentifying himself as Jimbo and giving Moe the Simpsons' address. Moe charges over and corners Jimbo. Just as Moe is about to slice him up with a butcher's knife, Jimbo starts to cry. Moe leaves and Laura sends Jimbo away, no longer seeing him as a tough rebel. Afterwords, Laura and Bart play one more prank on Moe for the evening.
