is introduced with a cold opening, with Hermes introducing everyone by their full name and title. Apparently, Hermes is now a grade 34 bureaucrat. But as he introduces Farnsworth, Farnsworth tells the crew that they are all fired, because the delivery network cancelled their license two years ago. However, the phone rings, and he is soon told that the people who cancelled their license were themselves fired for incompetence, brutally beaten, and some killed. The ones who died were ground into a fine powder, marketed as Torgo's Executive Powder. They throw a party, and as Hermes shows his moves in limbo, his head is cut off by a falling sabre, and his body is crushed under the Planet Express Ship.

The title sequence starts, only this time with a special extended theme and introductions of each character, but with the same familiar events in the sequence.

Act II
At the Head Museum, Hermes is put in a temporary head jar by Lars, the jar feeder at the Head Museum, while Lars flirts with Leela. When LaBarbara and Dwight enter to find Hermes in a jar and learn that his body won't be fixed for at least a week, LaBarbara immediately goes out to find a handsome, new husband. Farnsworth enters to tell the crew that they have a delivery to take to the Nude Beach Planet.

At the Nude Beach Planet, on which the entire crew must remove every aspect of clothing from their bodies, Leela finds out Fry has a tattoo of Bender on his ass, which even Fry is surprised to find. Later, Bender is approached by the nude alien Nudar, along with two other associates, to sign a petition and to give them his email address managing to get most of Planet Express crew to sign up.

Back on Earth, Leela is dealing with a lot of spam, but an email about an animal going extinct unless it gets her bank account number opens her eye. Similarly, Amy is also getting spammed, and manages to order some fake anti-depressant pills. Bender is keen on the fact that he can Get Rich Watching Porn, but ignores when his system tells him to perform a virus scan. He is immediately infected with the iObey virus. Dr. Zoidberg is the victim of a Nigerian scam.

When Farnsworth finds out about the scams (with his illegal key logging software), he wishes to teach the crew how to spot scams on the Internet. But he becomes a victim as well; he believes that he won the Spanish National Lottery for a grand prize of 400 dollars. Despite warnings from the rest of the crew, who now know better, he signs the form on the site, and immediately the doorbell rings. When Farnsworth opens the door, the trio of nude aliens from the Nude Beach Planet informs him that they now own the company, presenting a contract signed by the Professor.

Act III
Bender, being infected with the obedience virus welcomes the new masters. And soon Planet Express is turned into the base of operations for the nudists' scams. Later, Lars returns to bring Hermes his permanent jar and asks Leela out. The scammers are apparently part of a species who enjoy information (and may even feed off it, in some way), and they sense a large amount around Fry, or rather a very important piece of information, which is revealed to be the tattoo of Bender on his ass. Then, they force the Professor use a large microscope to zoom in on it to see if there is any information in the tattoo, and within Bender's eye on the tattoo is a binary code. Nudar tells Bender to read it aloud or Scruffy dies. As he finishes it, the Galactic Entity hears it, and sends back a time sphere, they very key to travelling through time.

As they debate what they can do with the time sphere, Nibbler appears to warn them about the consequences of using it, shocking everyone with his ability to speak. After failing to convince the scammers to stop, the Nibblonians launch an unsuccessful attack with their kitten-class ships.
