A Kiss Before Frying

A Kiss Before Frying is an old black-and-white movie that Marge watched on TV.

History
The main character, Johnny Stabbo, has been sentenced to death in the electric chair. He tells everyone that he is not afraid of death, because his mother will visit him. The days go by, but his mother still doesn't show up. As the execution date arrives, a priest comes to Johnny. He tells Johnny that his mother won't come, but Johnny doesn't believe it. However, while coming to the execution chamber, Johnny sees that his mother isn't in the gallery of witnesses. At the end of the movie, Johnny calls for his mother as the guards throw the switch to electrocute him.

History
Before watching the movie, Marge was in a bank robbery, but made Dwight Diddlehopper give up by a promise she will visit him in the prison. However, she doesn't have courage to do it. While watching the film, she felt guilty for Dwight.

Behind the Laughter

 * The movie's title is a pun on A Kiss Before Dying.
 * Johnny's prison number, JABF19, is the same as the episode's production code.
