A deadly 'Death Sphere' has been destroying planets and its next destination appears to be Earth. President Nixon turns to Professor Farnsworth for a solution. He proposes a mission in a one man stealth ship that will enter the Death Sphere and destroy it from the inside. Leela volunteers and Zapp insists on accompanying her. They head off to the sphere but their mission fails leaving them stranded, apparently alone on an unknown planet. Leela is trapped under a tree so must rely on Zapp to help her
his first suggestion is that they get out of their sweaty spacesuits! With just a few well-placed leaves to protect their modesty they discuss how they are the sole hope for humanity as their mission failed. Meanwhile back on Earth everybody is preparing for the end when the origins of the Death Sphere are determined and it becomes apparent; as its reason for attacking planets
it is on a mission to eliminate smut from the universe.
This is a fairly funny episode although some of the jokes may be a little crude for some viewers. The scenes involving Zapp and Leela were the funniest to my mind; especially when we learn that just about everything Zapp said about their situation is untrue. The nudity is handled in a comical rather than a salacious way; certainly anybody who has seen much anime will find it fairly tame. There are some other funny moments, such as Amy's idea of what to do before the world ends and Zapp's dreams which appear to be like a 1930s black and white sci-fi serial. Overall a solid enough episode which provided plenty of laughs even if a few jokes missed their mark.
