The Story

Act I: "Shove it! We quit!"

The crew arrives back from a particurlarly rough mission to the planet Cannibalon, looking like they've been through hell. The professor tells them they are all taking a company vacation - on the maiden voyage of the largest space cruise ship ever built, the Titanic.

Act II: "I christen this ship Titanic!"

At the ship's christening and launch ceremony, they present Zapp Brannigan, who is honorary captain for the Titanic's maiden voyage. Hoping to avoid Zapp's advances, Leela pretends to be engaged to Fry. Bender, in the casino, meets a rich fembot, the Countess de la Roca. Zapp Brannigan takes the ship off course in seek of adventure. Amy runs into her parents, who immediately begin trying to hook her up with unplesant men. To put them off, she also claims to be dating Fry.

Act III: "I'm a poor, lazy, sexy fraud."

Leela gets jealous of Fry's pretend relationship with Amy after seeing them kiss. Bender, pretending to be a rich aristocrat to impress the Countess, steals some drinks and gets beat up by guards. The Countess saves him and accepts Bender anyway; romance ensues. Meanwhile, Zapp has invited Fry, Leela, and the Wongs to dinner. When Zapp is called away after his course corrections lead the ship into disaster, Amy kisses Fry. Again, this makes Leela jealous and insecure. When she confronts Fry, he actually says the right thing for once, but their moment is ruined when Zapp's course corrections make matters worse.

Act IV: "Tell 'em I died robbing some old man."

As the ship falls into a black hole (thanks to Zapp), everyone heads for the life boats. Bender goes to find the Countess, who is trapped in a burning room deep in the ship. When the room floods, Bender rides the Countess, who is a Class 3 Yacht, to safety. Meanwhile, the planet express crew is caught behind an emergency bulkhead, and it's up to Hermes to save the day by limboing under the door while Zoidberg holds it open with his claw. They wait as long as they can for Bender before boarding the last life raft and escaping, but Bender and the Countess arrive just in time and grab the raft's door before it launches. The pod is too heavy, and they are saved when the Countess falls into the black hole.
