Bart sees a TV commercial for the new ultraviolent video game, "Bonestorm," and must have it. However, all of his attempts to purchase, rent, or borrow "Bonestorm" fail. Stealing the game from a local discount store, Bart is caught by store security man Don Brodka.

Brodka escorts Bart to a darkened room and tells him never to enter the store again. When Marge takes the family to the same store for their annual Christmas picture, Bart struggles to escape detection. However, Brodka spots him and shows a disbelieving Marge and Homer the security tape of Bart shoplifting the game.

Bart notices Marge acts differently towards him, and fears he has lost her love. He goes to the discount store and returns home with a buldge under his jacket. When Marge confronts him, he produces a framed photograph of himself, smiling, along with a receipt that states "Paid in Full."
