Election day is drawing nearer, but Fry and Bender are unmoved by politics. While Leela convinces Fry to register to vote, Bender sees something on TV that does interest him. He learns that a titanium mine collapsed, causing the price of titanium to increase. Bender sees this as an opportunity to make some cash by selling his body, firmly convinced that life without a body is worth it for the money. He visits the Head Museum but starts to miss his body when Nixon reminisces about his own. Determined to reunite with his body, Bender sets out to buy it back. He is startled to discover that it has already been sold. He's even more surprised when he sees Nixon on TV announcing his candidacy, using Bender's body as his own!
