The Twisted World of Marge Simpson

Plot

After being voted out of the "Springfield Investorettes", Marge looks for a small business and becomes interested in a pretzel company. She sets up shop, but when the franchise begins to fail, Homer looks to the mafia for help.

Fat Tony and his pals get rid of the competition and the pretzel business is booming. After their work was done, however, the mafia comes looking for their share of the profits - all of it. Marge doesn't want to give up her earnings.

When it's time to pay up, Marge's former business partners (Luann, Agnes, Maude, Helen Lovejoy) bring there own mafia group to battle Marge's men. The two groups begin to fight, and everything works itself out.
