Homer and Marge's anniversary falls flat, until hiding from a farmer in his barn during a storm revives their romance. Finding that the risk of being caught excites them, they seek out riskier spots, ending with a naked escape across Springfield in Gil's hot-air balloon. Bart and Lisa, staying with Grampa, use his metal detector to dig up a buried reel holding a happy ending for Casablanca.
