About the episode

After Homer gets Mayor Quimby and Mark Hamill safely out of a riot at a science-fiction convention, Quimby hires him as a bodyguard. On the job, Homer learns that Fat Tony is supplying rat's milk to Springfield Elementary and talks Quimby into shutting the racket down. That makes the mayor a mob target, and Fat Tony and Louie go after him at a dinner-theater staging of Guys and Dolls.
