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 searches the ruins of New York for a seven-leaf clover he remembers from his past.
Leela is reunited with an orphan-turned-plastic surgeon who offers her the appearance of two eyes.
Fry is fed a diet of motor oil at an insane asylum for robots until he comes to believe that he is a robot.
After Bender has a debilitating accident, rock star Beck comes to his aid with a benefit concert.
