This episode opens with scenes of Zapp's latest victory; Earth's forces defeat the peaceful Spider-creatures and seize their precious silk. To celebrate the conquest President Nixon gives everybody on Earth a $300 dollar tax rebate. With their new found wealth the crew each decide how they will treat themselves; Amy buys a talking tattoo, Bender buys some burglary tools so he can steal a $10,000 dollar cigar and Leela decides to go swimming with a whale at the aquarium... Fry meanwhile just buys coffee... and gets very twitchy! Their various purchases lead to plenty of funny moments culminating in a gala evening where people are invited to see the silken loot; inevitably things go wrong but when they do rescue comes from an unlikely direction.
This was another good episode with plenty of amusing gag; I particularly liked the drug addict who left his crack house for a crack mansion and Zoidberg's reaction to 'rich person' food. The story was pretty good and it was nice how the crew's separate purchases came together to cause the various events to occur rather than just being a series of separate gags. As well as the regular cast it was nice to see secondary characters such as Zapp, Kif and Nixon making entertaining appearances; Kif in particular takes a leading role.
