Plot

GIR has now watched Intestines of War, the movie he rented from the video store and has watched it one hundred times and has yet to return it. Zim discovers on the tape a standard FBI warning and believes, after his computer makes up the history of the FBI because it knows nothing about them, that it is a warning against aliens. Scared by the warning and when the video store calls telling him to bring back the video or pay late fees, Zim hurries to the mall after it is closed to bring the video back.

At the closed mall, the maniacal security guard Sergeant Slab Rankle notices Zim and orders him to surrender from an intercom. Zim refuses, so Rankle presses a button, and launches a series high tech security defenses, eventually capturing Zim. After berating him for trying to buck mall security, he sends Zim down to an underground prison of sorts, where he meets other prisoners. One of the prisoners explains that they are down here for various petty reasons, and that Rankle removes one of them every couple of days, possibly to become a zombie.

Zim creates a vertical line of people, rallying them to crawl up the heating vents to freedom. However, Zim just escapes without them.

Back in the mall, Rankle assaults Zim with lasers and various weapons, but Zim dodges them all. Finally, he sends out zombies, proving the prisoners' theory. At first, they crowd around, but then collapse and wander around aimlessly(showing that they have very limited intelligence).

Amazed by the Irken, Rankle finally steps out of his lair, imploring Zim to work with him. However, Zim is tired and a little creeped out by the guard, so he decides to just put the video in the slot...and go home. Refreshed anyway, Rankle happily goes back to his room, stepping over the pile of zombies.
