The Story
Act I
Fry visits the dentist for the first time in over a thousand years, his teeth are perfect but his fillings are transmitting a signal. Leela suggests the Professor check the fillings and Bender wants to remove them to sell the mercury. The Professor uses his Universal Decodi-ma-torn to translate the signals, which seem to relate heavily to the inhabitants of Mimeus 7 (colonised by the French). DOOP is contacted and Glab, Zapp and Kif arrive at Planet Express. As there is no way to know who the signals are coming from, the DOOP plan to intercept the aliens before they arrive, Fry will need to be there. Leela, the Professor, Bender and Zoidberg are also deemed to be required. Zapp switches Kif for Scruffy as he has naked pictures of Leela. Overnight Bender tries to steal and sell Fry's teeth.
Act II
Late that night it is found that the machine isn't the Decodi-ma-torn, but actually a French to English translator and that Fry had been unwittingly transmitting insults and threats back to the aliens, the Swissarmians, by grinding his teeth. Fry is now sure he'll die in the next day's battle and Leela decides to keep him company that night. Leela doesn't want Fry's last memory to be of Zapp, however the attempted kiss is interrupted by the Swissarmians who abduct Fry and Leela. Before they can begin the interrogation, the DOOP Army, Bender and the Professor arrive. A battle ensues. One of the aliens clamp Fry's head and he grids his teeth, which knocks the aliens out. Bender amplifies the signal and the aliens are defeated.
