It is election day in Springfield and Homer is on his way to the voting booths at Springfield Elementary School, all the while showing his bitterness about voting. Arriving at the voting booths, Homer is initially unable to decide whether he should vote for Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, as both have their flaws. Eventually, Homer votes for Romney, but is shocked to find that he got a medical deduction for a personality implant, he has six wives all named Ann, and the government paid him taxes for five years. Before Homer can rush out of the booth to tell the press, he is sucked into a tube and gets outsourced to a factory somewhere in China, where U.S.A. flags are being made. Homer is initially satisfied with the outcome because he has got a steady job until Selma comes out of the tube.
Homer's neglect to fix a dripping faucet causes the water to seep underground and create a massive cavern underneath the town square. The ground eventually caves in, just as Marge drives her car into the hole. She and the kids manage to get out, but Marge is unable to recover her car as the hole is soon filled up with useless items and covered with an asphalt layer, burying the car. With the car gone, Marge purchases a new one, a Nissan Sensible, but she dislikes it and it is unknown why. Eventually, Homer gets her to reveal her reason behind the disapproval of the new car: Marge feels that the car, as it seats five, destroys her chances at having another baby, which she secretly wanted to have. Though Homer approves of Marge's desire to have another baby, he is actually horrified by it, feeling that three kids are enough for him to handle. Homer and Marge later find that their chances at having a baby are still nonexistent, as Homer's sperm are dead. However, Moe reveals that Homer sold some of his sperm to the Shelbyville Fertility Clinic a few years back. Homer and Marge head for the clinic, and Homer tries to divert Marge's attention by taking a historic route and stopping by several places. This plan fails, prompting him to admit his true feelings about another baby to Marge. This angers her and the two drive home. During a stop at a restaurant, however, Homer observes a family of six and finds that the father is enjoying himself with the fourth, youngest child. Changing his mind, he and Marge return to their original plan and arrive at the clinic. There, Marge is horrified to learn that Homer sold a lot of sperm to the clinic, resulting in a huge number of Homer-like babies. This forces her to tell Homer that they should probably wait, and Homer agrees. They later watch a movie, where Homer spots a set of septuplets matching his facial description, and all eight yell out, "D'oh!"
In a subplot, Bart and Milhouse find a message dropped by Lisa that reads in cursive, "The five boxing wizards jump quickly." They also see Lisa sneak off into a taxicab. Intrigued, the two recruit Nelson and Ralph, both previous boyfriends of Lisa's, in hopes of profiling her mind to find the meaning of the message. While following Lisa, Nelson and Ralph find another message, also in cursive, saying, "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow." The group's efforts in finding out what the messages mean go nowhere, and by this time, Principal Skinner, who is concerned from Lisa's strange disappearances, has joined them. Skinner deduces that the paper used for both messages only belongs to the previous principal of Springfield Elementary School, Meredith Milgram. The five visit her house and find Lisa there. Lisa reveals that she had started learning cursive (of which, Skinner reveals that Springfield Elementary's budget cannot afford teaching students to write cursive) and that the two messages were practice sentences, as both consisted of every letter from the alphabet. Bart and the other boys are shocked to learn that the reason behind this mystery was a mere after-school class, but Skinner finds enjoyment in the solution. The episode ends with the credits all written in cursive handwriting.

There is a second intro opening that lasts for 27 seconds. In the other version in the screen gag, Itchy flies in a plane with Scratchy as a propeller. The Simpsons all arriving in the driveway at the garage and in the couch gag, The Simpsons are flipped bit by bit onto the couch via animated cells and Homer eats a donut in his hand.
