The Prisoner of Benda is the tenth episode of the sixth season of Futurama. The Professer invents a mind switching machine. All the main characters end up switching bodies for various reasons.
Leela accuses Fry of only caring about her looks and Fry tries talk his way out of this arguement while Bender interrupts claiming he's going to try to steal the Robo-Hungarian Emperor's crown. Meanwhile, Amy and the professor switch bodies so the professor can have fun and Amy can pig out. When they try to switch back they find out they can't because the same bodies can't switch twice. Farnsworth in Amy's body switches with Bender to try and fix it but he realizes it won't work. As the professor tries to figure it out, Amy continues to eat and Bender goes to seduce the gurad onboard the Emperor's yacht to stel the crown. He finds out the Emperor is tired of the rich life and wants to live a regular life so Bender takes him back to the office.
However, the professor decides to run away in Bender's invincible body and joins the circus as a daredevil. Leela and Amy in the professor's body switch so Leela can get the senior citizen's discount at the movies and Amy can continue to eat because the body of an old man can't digest anything. When Fry finds out Leela gets even more enraged at him about his shallowness. To get back at her, Fry switches with Zoidberg and Fry and Leela get disgusted at each other's appearance but deny it and challenge each other to a romantic dinner. Meanwhile, Bender in Amy's body switches with Scruffy's washbucket and then with the Emporer. Zoidberg in Fry's body and the Emporer in the washbucket's body pretend to recognize each other and they go back to the apartment.
Zoidberg rips the dishwasher out of the wall spewing water everywhere and then does the same with the oven to try to boil the water but gas begins to leak as well. The Emporer lights up a cigar causing the apartment to explode. Meanwhile the washbucket in Amy's body tries to seduce Scruffy because she loves him but he unwillingly rejects her because deep down she is still janitorial equipment. Bender discovers that the emporer's fiancee is cheating on him with the emporer's cousin and plan to take the throne. Bender escapes and is chased through the streets under the exploding apartment to the U.N. Meanwhile Hermes discovers what Amy did to Leela's body and switches with her to help Leela's body drop the pounds claiming that 30 years of the munchies beat Amy to wrecking his body. At Elzar's restuarant, Fry in Zoidberg's body and Leela in the professor's body are trying to gross each other out and when Fry argues that he's as attracted to Leela as ever he begins to make out with her on the table. Amy in Hermes' body looks on in horror.
After returning to Leela's arpartment and having sex, they turn on the T.V. to discover Bender's situation on the news. Meanwhile, at the circus, Farnsworth meets an old cannon named Big Bertha who loves her body and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. As all the Robo-Hungarian carnies watch the scene at the U.N. on the news. Big Bertha launches the professor even though it shatters her body so he can get there in time to save the emporer's body. He crashes through the roof and using the tiny robot carnies he hid in his breast plate, kills the emporer's cousin. Back at the office, the Harlem Globetrotters help the crew return to their original bodies. They discover Amy helped Hermres' body lose weight after losing her apetite forever after watching the scene at Elzar's. This inspired Hermes' to do the same for Leela's body. In the end, everyone goes back to their original body and Bender realizes he left the emporer's real crown in the emporer's breastplate and begins to think of a new scheme to steal it again.
