The Simpsons Season 1 Episode 11
Episode Title: The Crepes of Wrath
Episode Plot
Homer trips over Bart's skateboard and falls down the stairs. He is consequently disabled and confined to the couch for several days. Marge then punishes Bart, forcing him to clean his room and as he does, he discovers an old cherry bomb in his room and decides to flush it down the toilet in the boy's restroom at school. On the day he plans to flush it, Principal Skinner's mother accompanies him to school, calling him "Spanky" in front of his students. Bart ends up pulling his prank at the same time as Principal Skinner's mother is in the girl's restroom. The resulting explosion blows her off of her seat and enrages Skinner. In order to punish him, Skinner proposes "deportation" to the Simpsons, by having Bart participate in a foreign exchange program. Bart is sent to France, whereas the Simpsons host a student from Albania. Bart is shown a picture of a lovely chateau in the heart of France and he immediately agrees to go, much to everyone's delight.
In France, Bart arrives at the "beautiful chateau", which is actually a dilapidated wine making facility. He is greeted by the two unscrupulous winemakers, César and Ugolin, who proceed to treat him like a slave. Bart is made to collect and crush grapes, sleep on the floor and test wine contaminated with antifreeze. Bart's experience is a reference to the Austrian Diethylene Glycol Scandal of 1985.[1]
Meanwhile, in Springfield, Adil arrives and turns out to be a sweet and helpful boy. Homer immediately takes a shine to him, and it is noticeable that he is a better son and role model than Bart ever was. Unbeknown to the family, Adil is actually a spy sent by his government to obtain nuclear blueprints. Homer unwittingly takes him on a tour of the power plant and thinks nothing of the many photographs Adil takes.
Eventually Bart learns enough French to escape his captors and inform the authorities about his captors' plot to sell contaminated wine. First he tries to speak English to a Policeman, who replies: Je suis désolé, je ne comprends pas - I'm sorry, I don't understand. The policeman gives him a candy instead of helping him. Bart then goes away, upset, but accidentally speaks French and realises he has become fluent in the language. The wine-makers are swiftly arrested and Bart is hailed as a hero to conclude his stay in France on a satisfying note. Adil is caught by the FBI and is exchanged for another boy who was an American spy caught in Albania. Bart returns to his family, bringing them French gifts. Homer declares he is proud his son can speak French.
