AS SEEN AT T HE 1939 WORLD’S FAIR

When Zapp Branigan accidentally causes a cave-in at the Doop Solar Helium Mine in orbit around the sun, Professor Farnsworth sends Fry, Leela and Bender on a mission to rescue the miners trapped inside. Bender wants nothing to do with the dangerous job, but after he inadvertently saves one of the miners and is dubbed a hero by the press, he goes back inside the blazing mine and rescues the rest of the trapped men. Back on Earth, the mayor declares Bender, Fry and Leela (but mainly Bender) the subjects of Heroes’ Day, and decrees that Planet Express become the new fire department. As new fires break out Bender deals with them single-handedly, becoming even more obnoxious from all the fame and glory. Meanwhile, the rest of the Planet Express gang become suspicious when they realise that all the fires started at locations at which Bender was already present. Thrown out of Planet Express, Bender discovers that his hollow body has a stowaway: a sentient, psychotic flame creature from the sun, who wants to destroy the world with his flame powers…
