Fry, in an effort to win Leela’s love, makes a deal with the Robot Devil to become a gifted musician. He has tried to take holophonor lessons, but his teacher claimed he had “stupid fingers.” Bender realizes that the Robot Devil is the only one to help. Fry makes a deal only to regret it immediately as it comes with a hefty price.

When a young star of the hit robot soap opera “All My Circuits” literally falls to pieces, Bender seizes his chance for stardom. Along with Fry and Leela, Bender sabotages the auditions and secures a spot on the show. As a result of Bender’s misbehavior, the Nielsen numbers rise, making Bender a star. When a new group, Fathers Against Rude Television (F.A.R.T.) plans a Million Dad March to protest his character, Bender realizes his effect on kids.

When Fry, Bender and the Planet Express gang attend Roboticon 3003 - the world’s largest robot trade show - the Professor purchases the new “Robot 1-X”, which threatens to render Bender obsolete. Feeling inadequate, Bender returns to MomCorp for an upgrade, but becomes terrified that the procedure will erase his robo-humanity. In desperation, he escapes from the factory and becomes a castaway on a tropical island that seems uninhabited… or is it? Violence ensues.

Bender faces his greatest challenge when he tricks his way into the 3004 Earth Olympian and wins several events, but he must endure the final and most revealing test to receive his medals. When Bender has a date with a major robot celebrity, Calculon, he sees this as an opportunity to be wined and dined like never before. When Bender realizes there’s an inequity of feelings, he enlists Fry’s and Leela’s help to stage a “soap opera death”.
