About this "Futurama" episode:
The episode begins with Fry attempting to play the holophonor, hoping to woo Leela as he did in Parasites Lost. After a disastrous holophonor recital, Fry enlists the help of the Robot Devil to improve his holophonor skills through a hand transplant at Bender's idea, correctly believing that his own hands are the reason he cannot play. The Robot Devil decides to switch his hands with a robot randomly selected by a carnival wheel — mischievously telling him he "probably" will not know the robot it lands on. Though suspicious, Fry agrees (especially after Bender threatens to beat him up if he does not). It is hinted that it was intended to land on Bender, but stops on the Robot Devil himself (much to his disbelief and horror). Fry, however, holds the Robot Devil to his own binding contract. Using his hands and a cleaver the Robot Devil switches their hands. With his new, nimble hands, Fry becomes a skilled holophonor player as well as being able to perform numerous tricks and attempts to win the heart of Leela with an opera based on her life.
Revolted at getting the raw end of the deal, the Robot Devil decides he has to get his own hands back. He begs Fry, but Fry refuses reminding him they made a deal. He trades Bender a stadium air horn for his "crotch-plate" so that he can annoy people. When Bender uses the air horn on Leela, he causes her to go deaf. His air horn also almost immediately runs out of propellant, and when the Robot Devil taunts him, there is no "shiny metal ass" for him to bite. Leela refuses to tell Fry that she is deaf because she is afraid that Fry will stop writing the opera, so she attends the premiere pretending she can still hear the performance. During the intermission, the Robot Devil offers Leela robotic ears (which previously belonged to Calculon who apparently got his acting talent from the Robot Devil) in exchange for her hand. Desperate to hear the opera, Leela accepts the offer.
The Robot Devil interrupts the opera at the point where Fry is making the deal, during which the Robot Devil is portrayed as a comical character, and demands that Fry give back his hands. When Fry refuses, the Robot Devil says that he will take Leela's hand - "in marriage" even though robosexual marriage was illegal at that time. After a musical conflict, where the Robot Devil gets the robot Priest to perform the ceremony and says he will take Leela to Robot Hell, Fry decides that he has no choice but to trade the Robot Devil's hands back for his own, or else he will never have a chance to be with Leela. The Robot Devil then throws a smoke bomb and leaves with Richard Nixon. Although this part of the Opera was enjoyed, with his own hands, Fry can no longer play the holophonor, and the remainder of the opera is terrible. The entire audience storms out except for the sympathetic Leela, who asks, "Please don't stop playing, Fry. I want to hear how it ends." Playing an improvised finale of his opera, Fry produces crude, cartoonish images of himself and Leela. To a simplistic yet sweet bansuri tune, the cartoonish Fry and Leela kiss and then walk into the distance hand-in-hand.
