Chode is hired to place a giant monolith on the primitive planet of the Kubrickians. When it turns out to be a scheme by Darph Bobo to enslave the planet, Six convinces Chode to go back. The fact that the planet houses a heap load of gold also helps to sway Chode's greedy little mind.

Having been trapped in a plasma storm for nine days, the Jupiter 42 crew takes a holiday detour to Floridia 7 (a.k.a. the "Spring Break Planet") and are immediately forced by Dark Clown presidential candidate Klak Klownman to find and/or fabricate some dirt on his Confederation opponent, George Goodfellow.

On the run from Darph Bobo, Chode meets the twin he never knew he had, King Regis Philbrick, ruler of the planet Moldavia. Naturally the two of them swap places.
