Professor Farnsworth sells his soul to the Robot Devil in order to be young again, foregoing any and all future scientific discoveries. But when the Planet Express crew becomes responsible for a potentially world-ending calamity, the "old" professor and his scientific genius are needed more than ever! Can the professor break his contract with the Robot Devil and save all of humanity? "Good news, everyone! We're all going to die!"
