    It Was OK
    When a radio station offers thousands of dollars or an elephant, Bart chooses the elephant, which was the gag prize. He and Homer then pursue it until the elephant actually arrives and reeks destruction everywhere. There are the usual Homer comments that make it fun, but not as creative as most.
