In The Simpsons season 9 episode 12, titled "Bart Carny," the Simpson family attends a carnival that comes to Springfield. After unsuccessfully trying to win a prize at one of the rigged games, Homer and Bart decide to join the carnival as workers. They are quickly hired by a group of carnies and begin traveling with the carnival.

Once they arrive at a new town, Homer and Bart realize they are in over their heads as the carnies are actually a group of scam artists who trick people into spending all their money on the rigged games and rides. The two begin to feel guilty about their involvement in the carnival's shady business practices and decide to overthrow the leader, a ruthless carny named Cooder.

Meanwhile, Marge and Lisa visit a psychic at the carnival who tells them that Marge has had a past life as a French queen and that Lisa will play the saxophone in front of a big audience someday. Marge becomes obsessed with her past life and starts to dress and act like a queen, much to the amusement of her family.

Back at the carnival, Homer and Bart come up with a plan to trick Cooder and his fellow carnies into giving them a cut of the profits. They succeed in stealing the money and using it to fix up the carnival's run-down attractions and make them safe for patrons. However, Cooder eventually catches onto their plan and a wild chase ensues.

In the end, the Simpsons family reunites and they all learn a valuable lesson about greed and the importance of honesty in business. Marge also comes to terms with her past life and returns to her normal self, while Lisa practices her saxophone and looks forward to the day when she can play in front of a large crowd.

Overall, "Bart Carny" is a humorous episode that explores themes of temptation, honesty, and the search for identity. The carnival setting provides a colorful and entertaining backdrop for the various plotlines, and the characters' antics and mishaps keep the episode engaging from start to finish.
