| Synopsis | The throne of Sweden is empty, left without a king to lead. The search for a new monarch need look no further than Springfield, for the heir apparent is apparently... Smithers. But will Mr. Burns' loyal lackey turn royal ruler, and is he indeed the real successor to the throne? All hail the yes-man who would be king! [per solicitation] |
