Synopsis

The carnival comes to town, and Bart wrecks the main attraction, Hitler's car. To work off the debt, he and Homer become carnies. After failing to bribe an official, Homer and Bart lose the ring toss booth, owned by Cooder and his son. Conforming to the carnie code, they allow Cooder and son to stay at their house. Cooder and his son scheme and take over the house as squatters until Homer challenges them to an all-or-nothing ring toss.
