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.
Earthlings assault Bender as he delivers toys on behalf of the evil Santabot, who is frozen in a block of ice.
In several "what if" scenarios, Bender learns how life would be if he were human, Fry experiences life as if it were a video game, and Leela wonders about her true home.
Bender falls in love with the spaceship after the professor upgrades its software with a sexy female voice.
Leela is honored for her achievement as a starship captain at the orphanage where she was raised; with Fry's help, Leela learns what happened to her parents.
