When Leela enters Nibbler in a pet show, the tiny alien wins the prize for ‘Dumbest Pet’. Meanwhile, a race of evil Brains arrives on Earth and begins transforming the population into mindless idiots. Recognising the invaders as his race’s mortal enemies, Nibbler returns to his spaceship, which he has hidden in an old alley. Together with Fry and Leela, Nibbler returns to his home planet of Niblon, where his fellow Niblonions determine that Fry is the only person immune to the Brains’ powers – it looks like the future of the human race is now in Fry’s hands…
