CONDEMNED BY THE SPACE POPE

Bender’s old high school buddy, Fender, introduces him to ‘Jacking On’, a craze in which robots get high by plugging themselves into power outlets. Now hooked on electricity abuse, Bender sabotages the ‘Planet Express’ ship and flies it into an electrical disturbance, almost killing Fry and Leela in the process. Realising he has become an addict, Bender turns to Robotology, a religion for robots; however, his pious fervour is even more annoying than his usual self, and so his friends decide to tempt him back to his old ways. Unfortunately Bender is then kidnapped, and when he awakes he finds himself in Robot Hell, at the mercy of the robot devil Beelzebot. Fry and Leela set out to track down their friend and free him from purgatory – but the only way for Bender to save his soul is to win it back from Beelzebot in a fiddle contest…
