Homer takes the family to a steak restaurant named The Slaughterhouse that allows you to choose your steer. Homer challenges truck driver Red Barclay to a steak-eating contest when Red advises Homer not to eat the largest steak on the menu. Red wins the contest, but dies of beef poisoning. Feeling guilty, Homer vows to take Red's truck and make Red's last delivery to Atlanta.
Back home, Marge and Lisa buy a musical doorbell from Seņor Ding-Dong's Doorbell Fiesta. No one comes to the house to ring the doorbell, not even the pizza delivery guy or Milhouse. Finally, when they ring it themselves, the doorbell sticks and plays its tune, "Close to You", over and over.
On the highway, Homer falls asleep at wheel, accidentally discovering that the truck has a mechanism which drives the truck itself. When Homer shares his story with the other truckers, they reveal that all trucks have the Navitron Autodrive. They also swear Homer to secrecy.
Homer enjoys the Navitron Autodrive by trying to hit an old lady, and by sitting on the hood of the truck while it's driving. When the other truckers spy Homer's activities, they start a convoy and attempt to stop him. But Homer, as usual, inexplicably avoids their road block and makes Red's delivery.
Back in Springfield, a mob of townspeople has gathered at the Simpson's front door. The doorbell is keeping everyone awake. Just before Chief Wiggum shoots the doorbell, Seņor Ding-Dong arrives and fixes it just in time.
Marge says, "It's time we opened up a can of whup-tushie on this situation."
