action
While the Simpsons have cleaning day, the moderators of the regional radio station KBBL, Bill and Marty, call the Simpsons as part of a competition. Son Bart , who takes the call, is supposed to decide whether he wants $ 10,000 or the joke prize, a full-grown African elephant . The moderators assume that anyone would prefer the $ 10,000 to an elephant, but Bart chooses the latter. However, the station does not have an elephant. Problems arise when Bart insists on the elephant; Bill and Marty try to convince Bart to accept the $ 10,000. Only when the boss of the station interferes and Bill and Marty threatened to resign, they deliver the Simpsons an elephant.
Bart names the elephant “Stampfi” and wants to keep it as a pet in the garden, where he pegs it. His sister Lisa complains, however, that it is cruel and inappropriate to treat Stampfi like that; Father Homer is concerned that the animal will eat him up after he has already stuck Bart in its mouth. Another problem is maintenance costs. Although the family takes money from the neighborhood children to allow them to see or ride the elephant, this does not cover the costs the elephant incurs in order to eat it. In addition, the parents Homer and Marge understand that Stampfi does not live appropriately. You therefore decide that the elephant should be sold.
The family is contacted by a representative of a game reserve that Stampfi would take in free of charge and keep outdoors, which is similar to the African savannah , but the non-profit organization cannot pay anything for the elephant. However, she also contacted an ivory dealer, Mr. Schwarzseele, to buy the elephant. Homer wants to accept the money first because the elephant has caused damage that the family has to pay for. But Lisa is vehemently against it, since the ivory dealer would kill the elephant. While the ivory dealer is still negotiating with Homer, Bart and Stampfi flee, leaving a trail of destruction. When the rest of the Simpson family notice their escape, they start looking for both of them. Eventually they struck gold at the city's tar pit . Homer runs in and threatens to sink, but the elephant frees him. In gratitude, Homer puts his financial worries on the back burner and gives him to the game reserve.
