If the sparks came out of the socket, you should call an electrician. If the sparks came from the plug (the wire at the plug would be scorched or burned), the plug should be replaced. You can buy a similar plug at a hardware store, cut off the old plug, strip away some of the insulation covering the wires, and install the new plug using only a wire stripper/cutter and a screw driver. Or you could contact a local handy man to replace the plug for you.
