When Apu finds increasingly elaborate ways of expressing his love for his wife, the men of Springfield feel as though they're being shown up in the romance department. Singer Elton John's arrival at the airport is the last straw--assuming he's in town at Apu's request, the Springfield men, led by Homer, kidnap John and lock him in a dog cage. Apu's real plan is to have a sky writer spell out his love for Manjula, but Homer also tries his best to foil the pilot's efforts. Eventually, John does sing for Manjula and everyone has a happy Valentine's Day.
