Synopsis
Driving home drunk from Moe's one night, Homer crashes into the family car in the driveway, totaling both cars. He attends the Springfield Auto Show to find a replacement. After meeting Adam West in the Batmobile, Homer is persuaded by a salesman to buy a $20,000 snow plow. He starts a snow-plowing business as Mr. Plow. After running a late-night commercial, business is booming.

At Moe's, Barney is depressed and wants to make something of himself. Homer advises Barney to take control of his life like he did. The next morning, Homer wakes to find everyone's driveway has already been plowed by the Plow King, Barney. Barney even has a better commercial, starring Linda Ronstadt.

Seeking revenge, Homer makes a phone call to the Plow King and asks him to plow a driveway at the top of Widow's Peak. Barney never returns, and Homer's back in business. But when Homer finds out Barney is stuck under an avalanche, his remorse moves him to rescue Barney. Just when they agree to become partners in the snow-plowing business, spring arrives and all the snow disappears.
