The Simpsons

During a survival trip organised for the power plant employees, Homer and Mr Burns find themselves trapped in a remote mountain cabin. The isolation leaves them with no choice but to collaborate. Consequently, they are compelled to work together as equals.

Mountain of Madness is a programme presented as an episode within its series. It falls under the genre of a standard episode, offering a self‑contained story that fits within the larger framework of the show’s format. The central narrative finds Homer and Mr Burns caught inside a mountain cabin. Both characters are part of a survival excursion that includes the employees of the power plant, and circumstances leave them stranded together in the remote shelter. Because of their predicament, Homer and Mr Burns are compelled to set aside their usual hierarchy and collaborate on an equal footing. The situation forces the two to cooperate, sharing responsibilities and decision‑making as peers rather than as boss and subordinate. The episode’s setting—a secluded cabin high in the mountains—provides the backdrop for this forced partnership. Alongside the power‑plant staff, the duo must navigate the challenges of the wilderness, highlighting how the harsh environment can level relationships that are normally defined by workplace rank.
