While the rest of the town is ecstatic, and Homer takes a course under Lanley in hopes of becoming the monorail's conductor, Marge has her suspicions -- especially when the monorail appears to be severely in need of repair (there's a nest of opossums in its inner workings, for instance). Finally, sneaking into his trailer, she discovers that Lanley intends to take the millions alloted for the monorail and head for the tropics...leaving the Springfieldians to a firey doom.

As newly/randomly-appointed conductor Homer and company prepare for the launch of the monorail (complete with celebrity guest Leonard Nimoy), she travels to North Haverbrook, one of several towns Lanley claims to have sold a monorail to, and discovers that it is near-deserted in the wake of the disastrous crash that took place on its first go-round. An engineer who worked on the project and watched as his objections and warnings were ignored offers to help her save Springfield. Unfortunately, thanks in part to a stopover so he could get a haircut, they arrive after Lanley's skipped town and the monorail is up and running -- and speeding out of control, unable to be stopped.

Marge and the engineer are able to contact Homer and the latter advises him to find an anchor. He pries off a big metal "M" from the outside of the train, ties a length of chain around it, and heaves it outside. The anchor rips its way through town and finally gets caught up in a giant donut shop sign, which proves enough to bring the monorail to a halt, saving all aboard. As for Lyle Lanley, his flight to Tahiti is "unexpectedly" forced to make a stopover in North Haverbrook, where an angry mob promptly boards the plane to pay him back for his crimes.
