"Burns' Heir"
518 1F16
Original Airdate: 4/14/94
Well into his eighth or ninth decade, Monty Burns realizes that he has no
children and therefore no heir for his vast fortune. After an audition process
in which every child in Springfield vies for the coveted position as Burns'
kid, Bart is selected for his attitude and scrappiness. Taking the boy under
his wing, Burns tries to turn Bart into the son he never had. When he returns
home to his boring old family, Bart resents them for not being rich and overly
indulgent like Burns. Torn between loyalty to Homer and Marge and hunger for
all the toys and money Burns throws at him, Bart must decide which family
he wants to keep. When Mr. Burns insists that Bart fire his own father as
an act of loyalty, Bart rebels and fires Burns instead.
