Synopsis: Fat Freddy's Cat is talking to other cats about times when they've been left alone by their owners and the damage they've done to the homes, one-upping one another. Fat Freddy's Cat tells them about a time when his owners left him alone while they went to South America. He described it as paradise since he could sleep on the stove where it was warm, eat from a huge bag of food and had plenty of water from a running toilet with no people to get in the way. He then said it all changed when the other tenants had a meeting about cockroach infestations and decided to spray for them unbeknownst to the Freak Brothers who were out of the country. They couldn't access their apartment so after all the other apartments were sprayed, the tenants marveled that the roaches were gone and they couldn't even find any dead bodies. All the roaches had made their way to the Freak Brothers apartment as refugees. He proceeds to tell them about 2 factions, the communist roaches that inhabited other rooms and outnumbered the capitalist roaches that had plenty and lived in the kitchen. The two group opposed one another. When the other roaches came in, the capitalist ones accepted them as they could then require their military service and collect their taxes etc. The story poked fun at capitalism and how they can make the migrants do the crappy work and pay more sales tax but lower income tax and that they'd have to build up defenses and weapons and if they don't comply they'll throw them in jail...you get the picture. So the other cats call him out on it and say his story is getting a little allegorical. He then stops them there and says he's already sold the rights to Hollywood and they are having him come out and do script rewrites etc. The studio is hiring actors like Clint Eastwood, Jane Fonda, Jack Nicholson etc... to play the roles and dress up in giant cockroach outfits. When he meets with the studio head, he's told that he likes the idea of flying pigs but doesn't want to bore audiences with Communists and Capitalists so wants him to make it about Cowboys and Indians instead. The new plot involves Cowboys fighting Indians (all cockroaches by the way) at the Alamo when they're all attacked by aliens that then want to mutilate the cowboy's cows. The aliens disguise themselves as beautiful lady cockroaches but the cowboy roaches are too pure of heart and the Indian cockroaches are too psychically primitive to be hypnotized. The Indians sell their claim of the Alamo to the aliens for 24 dollars and a box of colored bottle caps. The aliens destroy the Alamo but the cowboys and Indians escape to the mountains and make a truce so they can counterattack the aliens. The cowboy cockroaches wait it out til technology can catch up. In the meantime all the cowboys' horses run away when they hear what happened to the cows and then a group of Indian braves find a cache of radio controlled surface to air missiles left behind by a previous civilization and together, the cowboys and Indians attack the aliens and in the process set off a chain reaction of the alien vessels which kills all life on Earth, but not before the cowboys travel back in time with a handful of Indians to do their labor since they developed a time machine during all of this. Then back in time all is well and flying pigs salute the leader of the capitalists who has transformed into a handsome prince. Flashback to reality where he relates that the real ending wasn't so great and that there were more refugee roaches than originally thought and they had to put them in refugee camps and then all food was eaten so they tied a can of what they thought was insecticide onto the cat's tail and cut off the top but roaches can't read and it turns out it was whipped cream. Fat Freddy's cat panicked and ran all over til he crashed into Phineas' chemical lab equipment and it caused a reaction with the whipped cream that killed all the roaches and turned them into mutants the size of skateboards. Fat Freddy's Cat escapes up the chimney and gets pot residue that he can't lick off and runs away all stoned. The end.
