The Story

Act I

The Professor announces that the company has made it into Big Applet's "Best of New New York" issue for Most Efficient Delivery Company on Weekends and Holidays and they have celebratory cake. Nibbler has been overeating, including eating Zoidberg's prawns (his cousins from Ohio). Nibbler runs and hides from an attacking Zoidberg. The crew go on a delivery taking the clients, who chose them due to the award, with them so that they can see them at work. Nibbler is still missing. Ricky and Lucy are eager to know the crew's secret so Leela sends them off on a tour of the ship with Bender.

Act II

Robot space pirates attack, but are subdued by Leela and Fry, then left to be picked up by the Nimbus. After the ship almost crashing a few times, Ricky and Lucy reveal their true objective, to learn from, then kill, the universe's best delivery companies. When the crew are chained up on the planet Bender requests one last drink from the stash in his chest cabinet. Ricky complies, Nibbler emerges from Benders chest (where he hid while Amy was tinkering with Bender's head) and eats most or all of the nearby Upsilons. Nibbler's burp short circuits the electro-cuffs and the crew are freed.

Additional Info

Trivia

  • H.G. Blob is on the cover, but not found inside.

  • Planet Express needs a new wing to store Nibbler dung.
  • The ship has a duel cabinet with white glove, pistol, phaser, sword, brass knuckle and turntable options.

Quotes

  • Professor: Excellent happenings, people! *no reaction* Whuh? Oh, now, that's not right... Let's see... Ah, yes... Good news, everyone!
  • Leela: (to Bender) ...you're not here for Fry's amusement.
    Fry: Then who is?
