DO ANDROIDS GET ELECTRIC HEMORRHOIDS?
When Bender invites himself to Fry and Leela’s dinner date, he gets a taste for truffles. Landed with an expensive bill, Fry takes a loan from the Robot Mafia, at the cost of a future favour. Learning that the expensive delicacy comes from the Truffle Belt, Bender sets off to find his fortune. With the aid of a truffle piglet called Jambone, Bender eventually uncovers a truffle; unfortunately, when he sells it at the Fungus Exchange Office, the local cartel takes most of the money. Bender and Jambone set off for a remote asteroid, which turns out to be a tree-covered ball laden with huge truffles. After a filling a giant sack with the delicacies, Bender and Jambone attempt to return home, but are stopped the terrible monsters infesting the forest. Under attack from a leafy dragon, Bender and Jambone are saved by the timely arrival of Fry and the Planet Express gang; however, their passengers are the Robot Mafia, who also run the cartel, and they promptly seize Bender’s truffle haul for themselves…
