Accidentally frozen, pizza-deliverer Fry wakes up 1,000 years in the future. He is taken in by his sole descendant, an elderly and addled scientist who owns a small cargo delivery service. Among the other crew members are Capt. Leela, accountant Hermes, intern Amy, obnoxious robot Bender and lobsterlike moocher "Dr." Zoidberg.

Fry finds himself the victim of a horrific sausage-making accident.

As a robot, Bender lacks free will so he embarks on a quest for the meaning of life.

The Professor is upset when his parents return from virtual retirement aboard the Near-Death Star.

Bender becomes the hunted after saving a robotic fox from hunters.
