[edit] The Story
[edit] Act I
After a quick recap of the previous episodes, the distraught staff of Planet Express arrive in the desert to begin searching for Bender's remains. They quickly find them as Bender and Fanny aren't dead, because the whole ordeal was purely a warning.
At Wongminster, Leo's miniature golf club, Leo is playing a round with Fry, Amy and Leela. Leela complains about the no-girl policy at the club. In addition, Leela isn't exactly pleased at Leo's treatment of nature and animals. However, Leo is tired of one aspect of miniature golf, that it is so damn miniature. Therefore, he has begun constructing the universe's biggest miniature golf course. He shows them first tee, which goes from Mars to Pluto's moon, Hydra. Leo explains that he is going to destroy 12% of the galaxy to build the course and has hired Farnsworth to perform a environmental survey of the area he has decided to place his course in.
With the survey in progress, Farnsworth explains why a regular sized miniature golf course simply isn't enough for men, because all men do is take other stuff and make it bigger, at which point he shows off his 301 inch Megaphallix TV, but to his discontent, a 302 Megaphallix inch model is out. As the Planet Express Ship has arrives in the violet dwarf system, the machine discovers life on an asteroid. However, the asteroid is also the location for the 18th hole, as well as the golf pants museum. Despite the clear signs of life, Farnsworth decides to approve for demolition, clearly keen on receiving his bribe.
At the golf course, Earth president Nixon and his vice-president, the Headless body of Agnew are playing with Leo. They are interrupted by the Feministas, who have now been joined by Leela, who have arrived to protest the construction of the golf course. However, in an attempt by Agnew to capture the protesters, a run-away golf cart runs him over and he is pronounced dead.
[edit] Act II
In a speech to the planet, Nixon is not pleased with the death of his vice-president, he declares the Feministas outlaws. In their hide out, the Feministas, decide to move up from simple protesting to actual sabotage. In orbit around Saturn, Wong has brought a sweeper remove its rings, but the machine is easily sabotaged by the Feministas by pouring sugar in the fuel tank and shoving an organic potato in the tail pipe. To increase their public image, Leela decides to use her muck leech as their mascot.
As Fry wanders New New York's streets after Leela's departure, he runs into Hutch again. Hutch whacks him on the head and they enter a mysterious glowing dumpster.
[edit] Act III
Hutch has decided to reveal the group he belongs to, the Legion of Mad Fellows, which is lead by the Number 9 Man. The Number 9 Man explains to Fry how life originally started with the Chi spreading across the universe, but for reasons unknown, the Chi began to recede. Which meant the diversity of lifeforms across the universe began to decrease. However, the knowledge of these former species was retained by the Legion of Mad Fellows, who passed the knowledge on through the ages.
However, recently, the Chi has begun to reform, and the asteroid in the violet dwarf system holds the key to the enlightenment of a new green age, and Fry's purpose is to become a shepherd and protector of it, because he lacks the Delta Brain Wave. His task is to stop Leo Wong in his goal to construct his miniature golf course. So Fry gets himself hired as a security guard at Wongminster.
Meanwhile, the Feministas are sabotaging the King Kong hole by ripping the green off its asteroid, destroying the course. On Channel √2 News, this is the top story. Linda is not pleased that Morbo always gets the top stories. In a breaking story, the Feministas have sent a tape out with a warning to Leo Wong and a call for support from the public. After the broadcast, Linda decides to join them.
Leo asks Nixon for help with the threat presented by the group, and Nixon decides to help by sending Zapp Brannigan on the mission to stop the group. Bender has decided to join Zapp's mission.The episode ends with "To be continued".

[edit] Film to Episode Edits
In order to make this quarter of the film fit into an episode's timeslot, some transitional shots were shortened slightly, and some other larger cuts have occurred.
- After the start of the introduction and a new caption, Hermes and Zoidberg stand in the hangar and say "previously on Futurama" then clink champagne glasses labelled "matter" and "anti-matter" together, causing an explosion before the recap begins.
- Leo's targeting of the golf ball canon at Hydra is shorter.
- Leela's "Well, there won't be any imploding once they read our environmental review." loses the "well".
- When Nixon is instructing Agnew in his swing, the first sentence doesn't start with "now".
- The Feministas' chant has one less "save the ecosystem" at the end.
- When the Feministas are hiding out, Frida doesn't ask "Now what do we do?"
- When Nine is explaining the situation to Fry, after silencing Hutch he doesn't say "You shall learn more in time, Fry. But..." Nor does he say "and our enemies would know of our existence," after telling Fry that Leela's thoughts would be read.
- Leo's thoughts heard by Fry don't include "Security guard gotta be tough."
- Sal doesn't tell the "hookers" that "This is [his] turfs."
- During the news, Linda isn't caught off guard talking to Morbo, as such we don't her her say "So you make more than twice what I do. What?"
- Sub commander L doesn't refer to herself as "den mother of the Feminista Revolutionary Collective". She also doesn't say the leech has a right to exist "because it's a part of nature." A third portion of the speech that is removed is "We call on women everywhere to join our struggle against eco-chauvinist Leo Wong. We especially need good communiqué writers."
- After Bender steps into the Room, Kif blows into a trumpet, producing a flag that reads "to be continued...".
