What seems like a loving gesture quickly turns into a nightmare when the couple discovers that their babies are being exploited by a zookeeper named Larry Kidkill.

Kidkill, the owner of Springfield Zoo, offers to help Apu and Manjula with the care of their eight children in exchange for permission to display them in his zoo.
