In 1995, John Connor is ten years old and living in Los Angeles with foster parents. His mother Sarah Connor had been preparing him throughout his childhood for his future role as the leader of the Human Resistance against Skynet, but was arrested after attempting to bomb a computer factory and imprisoned at a mental hospital under the supervision of Dr. Silberman. Skynet sends a new Terminator, designated as T-1000, back in time to kill John. The T-1000 is an advanced prototype composed of a mimetic polyalloy that allows it to take on the shape and appearance of almost anything it touches, and transform parts of its anatomy into knives and other stabbing weapons. The T-1000 arrives under a freeway, kills a policeman and assumes his identity. Meanwhile, the future John Connor has sent back a reprogrammed T-800 (Model 101) Terminator to protect his younger self.

Von Rauffenstein, upon returning to base, sends a subordinate to find out if the aviators are officers and, if so, to invite them to lunch.

L'histoire raconte l'aventure de Duck Dodgers à la recherche de « l’Illudium Phosdex ». Cet élément chimique rare, atome constitutif de la crème à raser, ne se trouve plus que sur la mystérieuse « planète X ». Daffy Duck, accompagné de son « Cadet de l'espace » (Porky Pig), fait des recherches sur un tableau et déduit qu'il faut passer par toutes les planètes marquée d'une lettre, et ceci par ordre alphabétique, pour aboutir « naturellement » à cette planète X. Daffy Duck finit par y atterrir. Il en prend possession au nom de la Terre, au moment où Marvin le Martien fait de même au nom de la planète Mars. Les deux champions planétaires vont devoir s’affronter en un combat où la ruse compte encore plus que la force brute. Au cours de leur recherche de la suprématie sur la planète, Daffy et Marvin se menacent chacun d'un pistolet désintégrateur. Quand Marvin tire, il désintègre Daffy en particules atomiques. Mais heureusement Porky le « réintègre » grâce à un pistolet du même nom. Depuis leur vaisseau respectif, Daffy et Marvin s'espionnent ; puis chacun dirige sur l'autre une arme extrêmement destructrice. La planète est peu après complètement détruite, sauf un petit morceau qui flotte dans l'espace et auquel se raccrochent les trois protagonistes. Tandis que Daffy-Duck Dodgers crie victoire, Porky conclut par un désabusé « Oh la belle affaire.

One thousand years have passed since the Seven Days of Fire, an apocalyptic war that destroyed human civilization and gave birth to the vast Toxic Jungle, a forest swarming with giant mutant insects in which everything is lethal to humans. Scattered settlements exist wherever the Toxic Jungle relents, with the Valley of the Wind being one such settlement. The Valley's settlers have a prophecy about a saviour, "clothed in blue robes, descending onto a golden field, to join bonds with the great earth and guide the people to the pure lands at last".
