action
Springfield is to receive a franchise for the football league. The commissioner responsible for awarding the franchise, who is on his way to the stadium, is confused by the street names that were specially changed for the application. He stops at the Simpsons house to ask for directions. Because all the other family members are already in the stadium, Abraham Simpson is the only one in the house. Abe thinks the inspector is a thief, so he knocks him out with a golf club. When the other family members return home, they find the inspector tied up. After his release, he declared that the league will never come to Springfield again. Therefore, the stadium built especially for the football team is no longer used. Abraham is then hated by all residents of Springfield.
Because of this, he becomes depressed and decides to see a doctor who will help people kill themselves. The suicide attempt fails, but Grampa thinks he is dead and in heaven. But his family explains to him that he is not dead. Grampa says that he was so happy to be dead because he lived in a world without fear. When the abandoned stadium was being discussed at a city assembly, someone suggested holding bullfights there. The brave Abe wants to become the matador . Despite the protests of his granddaughter Lisa against the cruelty towards animals, Abe kills the bull in the bullfight that follows. Lisa then confronts him, but Abraham weighs her arguments off because he is happy to be popular now. At the next bullfight, Lisa protests in front of the stadium while Abe attacks the bull. But to their surprise, he does not kill the bull, but frees all the bulls held captive in the arena from their enclosure. The wild animals roam free in the city and attack people. But Lisa and her grandpa escaped with the help of balloons attached to lounge chairs.
