[edit] Synopsis
Starbug is approached by a computerised Space Corps Enforcement Vessel which accuses the crew of looting derelict spaceships (a crime of which they are completely and totally guilty) and sentences them to death under frontier law. They escape into a GELF zone but crash-land on a moon inhabited by the Kinitawowi tribe where Lister is forced to marry the chief's daughter in return for an Oxy-Generator Unit to repair the ship. Lister escapes from his new bride as the others are leaving with the O/G unit and they make their escape in Starbug but they are trailed by the chief's pet emohawk, a domesticated polymorph, which begins stealing the crew's emotions. The Cat loses his cool and morphs into Duane Dibbley, while Rimmer loses his cowardice and becomes Ace Rimmer. After Ace makes a failed attempt to snap Duane Dibbley's neck and vent Starbug to get rid of the polymorph (thereby sacrificing himself), Lister and the crew manage to capture the polymorph and freeze it. This allows them to extract the DNA of Cat and Rimmer to return them to normal.
