What happens

Apu, the Kwik-E-Mart proprietor in a green jacket, stands behind a red-draped table at a stall under a 'Dead Presidents' banner, presenting 'The Can of Mystery' (a plain metal can with a sign on it). In the opening frames Homer, Bart and Lisa are seen seated together in front of a blue wall and window, Lisa resting her cheek on her hand. The scene then cuts to the storefront of the Freak-E-Mart with a line of townspeople waiting outside, including Mr. Burns' assistant-like figure and a bald man in a hat. Inside the store, Apu gestures animatedly toward the crowd, including Mr. Burns, Patty and Selma, Marge, Milhouse and a dark-skinned man in a pink sweater, while Apu holds up a hand and gestures toward the can. Apu then gestures and touches his head beside the can, with a 'Dead Presidents' banner above the stall.
