* Mike and the Bots are doing 1920s college pranks. Mike swallowed a goldfish, Servo stuffs himself and [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S04E20TheHumanDuplicators his clones]] in a phone booth and Crow sitting on a flag pole. He soon falls down.
[[AC:Segment 1]]
* With orders from the Institute of Mad Science, Pearl conducts an experiment involving complete power over everyone else. Servo soon turns into a third world dictator. However, the addition of fire ants on underpants lead to Servo leaving office.
[[AC:Segment 2]]
* Crow and Servo begin to review each other. At first, the reviews are positive, but soon slips to [[CausticCritic overly negative]].
[[AC:Segment 3]]
* Inspired by Merlin, Servo tries his hand on magic. After chanting a spell, he turns Mike into a baby. In the theater, he gets better.
[[AC:Segment 4]]
* Mike tries to read the Ernest Borgnine children's book line to Crow and Servo. The books with innocent names have graphic blood and guts, but ''Dr. Blood's Orgy of Gore'' is surprisingly pleasant.
[[AC:Segment 5]]
* Mike and the Bots get a cymbal monkey from Pearl, but it's actually Bobo in disguise. Disappointed with the scores, Pearl tells them that the movies are going to get worse from here.
