It's Christmastime and the family is out caroling. When they carol outside of a
lawyer's house, he informs them they can't sing the song they're singing without
paying a royalty. This inspires Homer to decide to write his own Christmas
carol, but when Flanders tries to help and begins annoying him, Homer is instead
inspired to write an anti-Flanders song. Homer plays his new song at Moe's where
a passing David Byrne overhears it and offers to produce and record it. The song
"Everybody Hates Ned Flanders" becomes a national hit and is even
covered by William Shatner. To get away from the over-exposure of the hit song,
the family decides to take a vacation to a dude ranch. At the Lazy I ranch,
Comic Book Guy looks for an Internet connection and Lisa is annoyed to find out
that the ranch was built on cruelty to animals and oppression of indigenous
people. Lisa wants to go home, until sometime later when she meets Luke Stetson,
a junior wrangler who shares her views. Homer and Bart meet some indigenous
people who tell them that they've lost their land to a natural beaver dam. Homer
gets them to agree to build a fair casino, if he helps them get back their land.
Lisa overhears that Luke already has a girlfriend named Clara and her heart is
broken. Lisa encounters Clara and gives her false directions to the dance. Homer
and Bart manage to outsmart the beavers and indigenous people are able to
reclaim their land. At the dance, Lisa finds out that Clara, her competition is
actually Luke's sister. Lisa gets Bart to help her find Clara, who they rescue
with the help of some beavers. The family is set to return to Springfield, when
they hear a new David Byrne produced song on the radio "The Moe Szyslak
Connection" and decide they can afford another week at the ranch.
