Act I
When Professor has Fry, Leela and Bender dig a hole in the floor of the basement to burry a device that he used to accidently blow up one of Saturn's moons, the crew discover a time capsule from the late 1970s. The crew dismiss it as junk, but Fry takes it for his own use. He finds an ad for sa monkeys in the back and buys some from Sal. When they fail to impress his co-workers he disposes of them in toxic waste.

Act II
Dr. Zoidberg recovers the sea monkeys from the waste showing that they've grown. They grow larger than the building. The crew set out to destroy them but fail. As one is about to eat Fry, the others call Sal who quickly solves the problem. Planet Express is charged with the clean up of the sea monkey corpses, so instead they have the bodies cooked and Zoidberg recieves a feast.
