MR. BURNS IS TAKEN DOWNTOWN ON "THE SIMPSONS" SUNDAY, JULY 4, ON FOX

When the police are called to diffuse a rowdy crowd at Mr. Burns' lavish estate, one of the officers recognizes priceless stolen paintings on the walls, and the maniacal billionaire is taken downtown for questioning. With Mr. Burns gone, Smithers takes charge of the power plant. But when employees take advantage of his good nature, he exacts revenge by forcing the employees to work night and day. These unfair working conditions prompt Homer and his crew to devise a plan to bust out Mr. Burns in the "American History X-cellent" episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Sunday, July 4 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
