Plot
Manty searches for food, when he sees Crunchy disguised as a girl and sitting at a dinner table with a plate of spaghetti. Falling for the trick, Manty becomes smitten and sits with him. They slurp opposite ends of a spaghetti noodle until their lips touch - then Crunchy bites Manty's head off.

Soon, Manty's headless body is brought to the hospital. Mags proceeds to eat it, when he notices the body twitching and figures it isn't beyond recovery. He squirms through the hallway in search of possible head donors. In one room he sees the Ant Family circling one of their kin on a bed, becoming horrified when a fly suddenly bursts out of his head. The ant's head falls on the floor, but Mags decides to keep looking.

Going outside, Mags discovers that Creepy and Crawly have somehow been decapitated. He looks at their severed heads wondering which one to take. They and their bodies suddenly awaken, proving to still be alive. The roaches' heads snicker mischeivously while rolling away from Mags as he pursues them. He stops to catch his breath.

As Mags makes his way back to the hospital, Maggie appears from a web, attempting to seduce him. Crunchy appears nearby, disguised as a buff male spider. Maggie shows interest in him and soon suffers the same fate as Manty. Mags finally makes up his mind.

Later, Manty awakens and takes a look in the mirror to see Maggie staring back at him. He is puzzled, then shocked to realize he now has Maggie's head. After he runs out the door, Creepy and Crawly's bodies walk in to ask Mags to give them new heads.
