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.
After Zapp Brannigan is court-martialed, he is hired at Planet Express where he tries to overthrow Leela's leadership.
A couple of clones campaign for the presidency and Bender sells his body to Richard Nixon, who joins the race.
Fry discovers that Santa Claus is an 8-foot robot who menaces people on Christmas Eve in the year 3000.
When Dr. Zoidberg returns to his home planet for mating season, Fry gives him a tutorial in 20th-century love.
