Bender's uncle Vladimir dies, and he is left his castle, on the condition that he spends one night there. Unsurprisingly, the house is haunted and, running away, Bender is run over by a 20th century-style car that howls like a wolf. Back in New New York, someone is run over outside a robot porno theater, where Bender was that night. A circus fortune teller tells him that he is a were-car, who turns into an evil car every night at midnight and tries to kill his best friend. Fry is hurt when Bender tries to kill Leela. To be cured, he must kill the original were-car. Following a trail of cursed robots, the crew are led to Calculon, who is in fact 900 years old and was run over by the original were-car, an experiment called project Satan. They find it and destroy it, but not before Bender tries to kill Fry, who is touched.

Hermes: Of course! It's so obvious!
Professor: Yes, that sequence of words I just said made perfect sense.

Lawyer: And to my loving nephew Bender, assuming he is not responsible for my death, I leave my castle.
Bender: Let's stay there tonight!
