Bart asks Loki to use his magic on his sister Lisa, transporting her to Asgard where she reads an inscription on the Mjölnir which belongs to Thor Odinson just as Lisa plans to place the hammer back in place only for Lisa to transform into a superhero representing Thor just as she finds herself back at Springfield, telling Loki and Bart that she brought the Springfield Avengers with her. Various citizens dressed as Marvel heroes approach Loki who has Bart's voice just as Lisa, unaware that the fake Loki is Bart while the fake Bart is revealed to be Loki in disguise. That night, Loki goes to bed where Bart sleeps which Homer mistakes him for Bart just before the short ends with a montage of credits.
The credits interrupt to show a mid-credits scene at Moe's Tavern where Barney is discussing with Moe Szyslak who reveals himself to be Loki in disguise much to Barney's surprise just before the credits resume again. After the credits, another mid-credits scene shows Ralph Wiggum as Hulk dragging and hitting Loki on the ground.
