The Story

Act I

Igner is dressed up as his father for Halloween, despite it being July and is soon carted off by his brothers. Professor Farnsworth announces a delivery to the robot pleasure planet of Shangri-linux, where the atmosphere is lethal to organic life. He doesn't trust Bender to make the delivery alone, so he transfers Fry, Leela and Zoidberg's consciousnesses into robots that share their likenesses. After making the delivery, the crew decide to stay for a little while and Zoidberg loses his body in a poker game. Bender discovers that Mom's sons are on he planet wiping robots' memories to sell them as new, also the atmosphere is actually perfectly safe. Bender tries to get the others to leave, but they're having to much fun.

Act II

Bender realises he has the Professor's brain transfer ray and decides to use it to knock them on the head. Unfortunately he stumbles onto Walt and, while hiding, accidentally uses the ray to swap bodies with Igner. As Igner, Bender beats Walt and Larry with a sack of candy and seizes control of their operations, ending the memory-erasing. He then swaps back leaving Igner in charge of he planet. Under Igner's orders the trio build an unsafe theme park called "Igney's World". Mom is pleased and plans to use it to put Luna Park out of business. The crew return to Earth and heir bodies only for Fry and Leela to learn they've been injected with fish DNA and grown gills for their next delivery.
