Plot[]
With Homer and Marge away, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie decide to play Space Patrol. Lisa (with a saucepan on her head) is devil-may-care rocket pilot Lisuey, Maggie (also with a saucepan) is her spunky sidekick Magina, and Bart is Bartron, an evil robot from Mars gone berserk, dubbed by Lisa after the vase she put on him gets stuck on his head.
Later, Lisa and Maggie (now with red capes) are in "mortal danger of being liquidated" by Bart, who then steps on Maggie's cape. Lisa pulls Maggie away to trip him down then says that next time he'll turn from his evil ways.
Bart stands up again and tries to feel where he's going until getting poked by Lisa and Maggie with broomsticks. Bart tries to talk, but the vase muffles him. Lisa tells him to calm down and tell them the hiding place of the "magic space crystals" that can "save the galaxy." Bart is poked again, causing him to mutter again, but Lisa and Maggie don't understand the "language" he's speaking.
Bart wanders down the hallway to the top of the stairs. Maggie pokes her head through a doorway, sticks out her broom, and trips Bart, making him fall down the stairs. Maggie is congratulated as she had rendered Bartron's anti-gravity belt non-functional. Bart tries to remove the vase with no success.
Lisa asks him if he wants her to release him from the "helmet of evil thoughts" with her "enchanted space wand." Bart tries to say "yes" but it still comes out muffled. Lisa decides to do it anyway, smashing the vase and freeing Bart, whose face is now disfigured with his eyes askew. While Bart stumbles around, Lisa and Maggie hide behind the couch so that Homer and Marge (the evil overlords) can punish him when they come home.
