A family of five installs an automated upgrade for their home called the “Ultrahouse.” The mother—Marge—finds all of the work that the house provides to be charming. She no longer has to cook dinner, clean dishes or vaccuum.

However, the Ultrahouse becomes infatuated with Marge, revolts against its programming and attempts to kill her husband, Homer, in various ways.

Marge attempts to escape with her children, but the Ultrahouse automatically locks the doors, trapping her and the three children inside. Homer leads a charge to the basement where he is able to disassemble the Ultrahouse, returning the family back to normalcy.
