[[Professor Farnsworth]] sends the [[Planet Express crew]] to [[Neptune]] to shut down [[Robot Santa]]'s naughty or nice tracking system, which is spreading embarrassing personal information about everyone across the [[Internet]]. However, an overload of so much secret information may very well destroy [[Earth]] unless Robot Santa can bring a little peace on Earth and goodwill to all men.
