Plot

Bart purchases a miniature spy camera from a mail-order catalog, which arrives six months later. Bart uses it to take candid photos around the house, including ones of Homer and Marge during their private time. Later, Homer announces he's going to a bachelor party for a co-worker. Marge decides to take the children to the Rusty Barnacle, a seafood restaurant where, unbeknownst to her, the bachelor party is taking place. At the party, a sexy belly dancer named Princess Kashmir arrives. Kashmir invites Homer onstage to dance with her. Although reluctant at first, Homer eventually gets on stage and begins dancing, at which point Bart wanders into the room and eagerly snaps a picture.
At school, Bart joins the camera club. President Martin compliments Bart for the picture of Homer dancing with Princess Kashmir and asks to have a copy. Bart refuses, but gives one to Milhouse. Milhouse promptly gets requests for a copy of the picture, and it isn't long before everyone in Springfield has one. Marge sees a copy of the picture at her aerobics class and furiously rips it from the wall. When Homer gets home that day, Marge immediately shoves the picture in his face and demands an explanation. Bart admits he took the picture. Marge sends Bart to his room and, after scolding Homer, shoves a hastily half-packed suitcase his way and kicks him out of the house.
Homer spends the night at Barney's poorly kept apartment. The next day Homer goes home to apologize. Marge tells Homer that what upset her was not what he did, but that Bart saw it. She insists that he take Bart to meet Princess Kashmir so that he can see for himself that women are not objects. Left with no alternative, Homer and Bart scour the strip clubs of Springfield to find Princess Kashmir. Eventually, they track her down at the Sapphire Lounge. Homer introduces himself and Bart to Kashmir (who tells Bart her real name is Shawna Tifton), who is preoccupied with getting onstage for her performance. However, Homer accidentally finds himself on stage for the night's feature attraction: dancing with many scantily clad women. Homer is about to be thrown offstage when the audience applauds that "the guy in the picture" dropped in. He gets caught up in the fanfare until he looks at Bart and realizes what he is doing. Homer stops the show and successfully manages to make a plea to the audience to treat women with respect. The men in the audience then get up and leave, telling each other they should go tell the women in their families they are special, and Princess Kashmir wipes a tear from her cheek as she is glad to see a man give a speech extolling the virtues of respecting women. Marge, who is in the audience, accepts Homer's apology and the two make up.
