Because Homer is tight on his money, he is suggested to shoot a porn movie in his house. Homer agrees and sends his family to a Christmas village as a distraction. Homer's wife Marge and the children are so disappointed there that they drive back home, where Homer is caught red-handed. Marge is so mad at her husband that she drives away. On a beach, Marge meets a manatee protector and starts helping manatees. Meanwhile, Homer is looking for his wife and stays with relatives. When he finds his wife, she initially doesn't want to go back home. Only when Homer risks his life to save a few manatees does Marge forgive him.
