Story
Chapter I
Emperor Chop Chop has abducted the Planet Express crew and is imprisioning the delivery heroes in his ship. He says no one can save Fake Leela... but Zapp Brannigan. So Zapp walks in the room, and shoots the Emperor. Brannigan then rescues his lover by untying her... only to kiss her seconds later.
Chapter II: The Heat Begins
Zapp and Fake Leela had crashed into an Eden-like planet. Zapp is trying to wake up Fake Leela, and tells her he can't face that mysterious planet without her or someone like her. Brannigan then starts performing CPR on her, in a reference to his attraction for real Leela.
Chapter III
In the spicy finale, Zapp and Fake Leela are lying in bed... possibly resting from some kind of spicy finale action. They had saved Earth. Brannigan asks her if it was "as good for [her] as it was for the human race". Fake Leela then says she wants more sex, but the Velour Fog is already asleep.

Trivia
- The Transcredible Exploits of Zapp Branningan is based on classic exploit films and adventure serials like Flash Gordon, though a closer parallel could be drawn between it and The Adventures of Captain Proton from Star Trek: Voyager due to the monochromatic nature and similarities of villains.
