The episode is about Homer fighting a bear.
Plot
Unable to buy Marge a diamond necklace for Mother's Day, Homer instead buys her a "Kitchen Carnival", a machine that produces cotton candy, caramel and deep fried things. Eventually Homer uses it to make a giant ball of deep-fried, caramel-covered, cotton candy. The ball is much too big for the family to eat, and it gets dirty. Finally Marge insists Homer get rid of it. He takes it to the dump, and is confronted by a large, angry grizzly bear, from which he cowers. The bear eventually wanders off without attacking, apparently bored by Homer's crying.
Homer becomes a nervous wreck, hallucinating and seeing bears everywhere. To make things worse, a tape was made of him cowering from the bear, and his coworkers and Bart's friends make fun of him incessantly. Grampa tells him to confront the bear, and Homer eventually does so, contacting a hunter named Grant. He then makes a suit of armor out of household junk. Ignoring Marge's requests that he not fight the bear, he sneaks out of the house, is joined by Bart, Lenny and Carl, and goes to fight the bear.
The four of them make camp in the woods. As his homemade armor is hot, Homer eventually takes it off and bathes in a stream, where he is again attacked by the bear. With Bart, Lenny and Carl dancing to the radio and paying no attention, the bear drags Homer to his cave. Homer discovers that the bear is only angry because of a painful electrical prod attached to his ear. In the mean time, Marge and Lisa have discovered Homer, Bart, and the suit of armor missing, and Lisa hires Grant to help track Homer down.
Freed of the electrical prod, the bear and Homer become friends. Homer decides to take the bear to a nearby wildlife refuge, but on the way, they are attacked by Grant and some other hunters. Homer dresses the bear up in the homemade armor, which resists the gunfire and allows the bear to reach the wildlife refuge - where he is promptly attacked by Stampy, but then fights back against him. " Bart Gets an Elephant " is the seventeenth episode of The Simpsons ' fifth season.
Inspiration
The creation of bear-proof armor after surviving a bear attack (but not Homer's public cowardice) was inspired by Troy Hurtubise whose story was told in the documentary Project Grizzly[1]. Troy James Hurtubise (born November 23, 1963 - Hamilton Ontario) is an Inventor and Conservationist from North Bay, Project Grizzly is a 1996 National Film Board of Canada documentary about the lifelong project of Troy Hurtubise, a man who has been obsessed
