BASED ON AN ACTUAL UFO SIGHTING

Bankrupt from bitcoin investment and in debt to the Robot Maffia, the Professor hatches a plan to mine the rare element thallium and sell it to other bitcoin investors for use in their mining computer chips. The gang head out west to crypto country, where they get jobs in the town of Doge City: Fry becomes the sidekick of the Borax Kid, a smooth-talking swindler who becomes enamoured of Leela, now working in the saloon as a barmaid and/or prostitute; Zoidberg becomes the new doctor, after the previous one is killed by Roberto, a knife-gun toting villain; and Bender buys a donkey. The Planet Express crew go pan-handling in the river using Bender’s shiny metal ass. Amy soon finds a huge nugget of thallium, which then gets stolen overnight. Believing the now-missing Bender is to blame, the gang follow his trail to a secret bitcoin mine in the saloon’s back room, which is filled with kidnapped robot heads - including those of Roberto and Bender…
