About the episode
Celebrating a rare Springfield Isotopes win, a drunken Homer, Lenny, Carl and Barney wreck Springfield Elementary, and Chief Wiggum blames the town's children, ordering a curfew that keeps them off the streets after dark. Bart and his friends strike back with a pirate radio show that broadcasts the adults' secrets. When the feud wakes the elderly, the seniors pass a curfew of their own for everyone under 70.
