Saul of the Mole Men

The STRATA team, formed to drill to the center of the Earth, runs into trouble on the way and is almost entirely killed by a rock fall. A few survivors are left somewhere deep below - Saul Malone (a geologist), Johnny Tambourine (an early-60s-style rock star), and Robot (a grumpy robot). Saul soon discovers that the caves are inhabited by hairy 'mole men'.

Saul, having stabbed the king of the Mole Men through the head with the 'STRATA communication antenna', tries to contact STRATA. Bertrum, one of the sons of the king, plots to kill the king so that he can seize the throne. As Saul attempts to operate the antenna, it explodes, leaving his fate unknown.

The explosion sends Saul onto a small plateau surrounded by a sea of lava, where he talks to a sentient rock that tells him he is destined to be leader of the Mole Men. The king dies, and since his 'hand of succession' turned into snakes before he appointed an heir, a vote is held. Johnny Tambourine receives the most applause at the election debate, so he is elected king. Saul, in a fit of rage, chokes Johnny, and in response the royal guards throw him into jail.

Saul is jailed for assaulting the new king of the Mole Men, Johnny Tambourine. After a short stint in jail, Saul is given a "fair" trial, which is actually a battle against a giant worm-like monster. If the monster spares Saul, he will be deemed innocent and set free, but if the worm eats him he will be guilty. Bertrum has proposed a plan, Project Thunderhole. In this plan, the Mole Men would dig a huge hole in the ceiling of their caverns to the 'Taboo Zone' (the surface of the Earth). But Clancy, the more conservative brother of Bertrum, mentions during the trial that such a plan is forbidden without the consult of a professional bonded geologist, and though Johnny reveals that Saul is a geologist, he may be too late.. Saul is being chewed in half by the worm.

Bertrum kicks the worm and it releases Saul unharmed. Saul is unsure whether he should approve Project Thunderhole, but upon consulting the sentient rocks atop the lava-surrounded plateau, he does approve it. At a party thrown by Bertrum to celebrate the approval, a burlap sack containing a 'mutant' is dragged out and beaten by the Mole Men for entertainment. Though invited by Bertrum to partake in the beating, Saul is initially reluctant, but eventually begins to pummel the mutant when Bertrum, Robot, a strange god-like radish, and the Mole Men in general encourage him. As Saul beats it unmercifully, the bag comes open and out falls .. a beautiful woman!

Saul is mesmerized by the beauty of what the Mole Men consider to be an ugly mutant. Saul asks for her name, but she is unable to talk. Robot suggests that some peanut butter will allow her to regain her speech. After sucking on Saul's thumb, covered in STRATA Peanut Butter, she reveals that her name is Fallopia. Johnny Tambourine dismisses her beauty, claiming that he could get any regular Mole Women he wanted, creating no need to go after a mutant. Saul nervously asks Fallopia out on a date, to which Fallopia, who has never been asked out before, gladly accepts. While preparing, Saul fantasizes about the date, imagining giving Fallopia a ride on his motorcycle and moustache. Saul arrives at Fallopia's place, but is greeted by peculiar noises. Saul discovers Johnny engaging in sexual activities with Fallopia and is heartbroken. Meanwhile, other STRATA members devise a plan to rescue the trapped crew, which leads them to Indochina.

Saul is outraged by Fallopia and Johnny and he runs away crying while Project Thunder Hole has just began and is rapidly killing many mole diggers. Clancy is too busy trying to stop Bertrum from continuing Project Thunder Hole to take his son Lil' to Puberty Gulch to catch his testes. So Lil' like Saul is now depressed. Saul and Lil meet up and Lil' describes his problem and Saul agrees to take Lil' to Puberty Gulch in order to find a pair of testes. However the hunt for Lil's testicles becomes more difficult when he reveals that if he does not find a pair by the end of the day he will become intersexed and remain a hermaphrodite the rest of his life like his father. Eventually Saul retrieves a pair of testicles for Lil', but soon after, Saul is captured by a strange bat-like creature who works for a villain named the "Birdbat Leader" who has been stalking him throughout the episode with a monitor that seemingly spies on Saul.

Saul is tortured by the Birdbat Leader, who demands Saul surrender "the stone", which Saul doesn't realize is his amber stone. Meanwhile, Fallopina, Lil', Johnny, and Robot launch a rescue mission, though things don't go smoothly; Robot ends up collapsing and being left behind; Johnny starts getting temper tantrums and arguing with everybody, but then gets used as a bridge, then left behind as well. Lil' and Fallopia bust into Birdbat Leader's lair, where Lil' suddenly uses his newfound manliness, pulls out a laser gun and starts shooting everything, and Fallopia starts fighting off the nearby Birdbats, all as Johnny ponders about what an ass he's been. Fallopia rescues Saul, who gets up and takes both the gun and the testicles from Lil' to turn him back to normal, as well as the amber stone. As the episode ends, the escaped Birdbat leader summons two minions, Captain Jim J. James and Leuteniant Jen E. James, both with large rocks covering their heads and moving around strangely, and orders them to take out Saul.
