In Old New York, 1974, a young Yancy is jealous of his newborn brother Philip and copies him in almost any way he can. Back in the year 3002, Fry is getting fed up with his bad luck. In the final blow, he loses nearly all of his money at the racecourse, nearly violently electrocuted trying to hold on to his final dollar and landing in a steel garbage can with leftover hors d'oeuvre being tipped on him.
