 The Rigellians abducted the Simpsons from their backyard and said they were taking them to [[Rigel 4]] for a feast. The aliens treated the Simpsons very well, providing them with all the entertainment that Rigellian technology had to offer and with sumptuous meals prepared and served by their cook, Serak the Preparer. While the rest of the family enjoyed the food and entertainment, [[Lisa]] began doubting the aliens' motives, particularly when Serak told [[Homer]] that [[Marge]] was "quite a dish" and when Kang said that the Simpsons would be the guests of honor at the feast (which elicited chuckling from all of the aliens).
-Now suspicious, Lisa snuck away and snooped around while the aliens weighed [[Bart]] and Homer (and congratulated Homer for his having gained weight).  Lisa soon ended up outside the kitchen. She peeked in and saw Serak working at the stove, adding spices to a pot, saying "This will give the humans the perfect flavor" and licking his lips. When Serak left the kitchen, Lisa went in, found the cookbook and read the title on the cover: ''How to Cook Humans''.

 Lisa then confronted the aliens, accusing them of planning to eat the Simpsons and showing the book as proof of her claim, which shocked both the family and the aliens. [[Kang]] blew a little dust off the cover, showing the title to be ''How to Cook for Humans'', to the family's relief. Still suspicious, Lisa blew more dust off the cover and the title then appeared to be ''How to Cook Forty Humans'', shocking the family again. Kang, however, blew off the last of the dust, revealing the book's real (and finally undisputed) title to be ''How to Cook for Forty Humans''.
