The Dean tells Homer to get some help from a few nerds after he nearly destroys the school in a nuclear demonstration. Homer tries to teach the nerds how to have a good time, so he decides that they will all pull a prank and steal another college's mascot, the mascot in question is the Springfield University's mascot, Piggy.. Their plan fails and they are expelled immediately.. Homer invites the nerds to stay at his house where they annoy the rest of the family to the extent that they want them to leave. Homer decides that he needs to get the nerds back into college, so he makes a plan for the nerds to save the Deans life. The nerds fail and the Dean ends up in the hospital, but Homer explains everything and the Dean reinstates the nerds. Homer was too busy making up pranks and forgot to study for his exam.
