At the Kwik-E-Mart, Apu lowers the price on meat that has expired instead of throwing it out. Homer buys the meat, eats it, and is rushed to the hospital. Lisa urges Homer to expose Apu, and Homer takes his story to "Bite Back with Kent Brockman." Apu is fired by the Kwik-E-Mart company after a sting in which Homer helps to reveal Apu's violations.

Apu tells Homer that he wishes to make amends by becoming Homer's personal valet. While Apu works for the Simpsons, actor James Woods takes his job at the Kwik-E-Mart. Apu enjoys his work with the Simpsons but longs to return to the Kwik-E-Mart.

Homer agrees to acompany Apu to Kwik-E-Mart's corporate headquarters in India to help him win back his job. The company's benevolent enlightened president and CEO grants three questions, but Homer intervenes, costing Apu his chance to be rehired. Apu finally returns to the Kwik-E-Mart, where he saves James Woods's life during a robbery attempt. Eternally grateful, Woods offers Apu his job back.
