The Story

Act I

Free Waterfall III is killed for getting the million dollar question on Morbo's game show wrong. The Professor needs to pay one million dollars in back-taxes to the IRS or he'll have to sell Planet Express. Everyone but Fry gives up on the company, however they all do their best to help. Fry signs up for Morbo's game show. To prevent Fry's death the Professor decides to get a loan from Mom.

Act II

Mom offers instead to buy Planet Express, the Professor rejects the offer. Fry heads to the set of the show and is joined by "answer buddy" Leela. Fry wins the million and avoids his and Leela's deaths by remembering something Scruffy told him. However, the Professor sold the company to Mom already, making Fry no longer qualified for the show. The Professor works out how to get the company back.
