When Zim gets annoyed by Gir's inept nature for the last time, he finally gets around to upgrading Gir's guidance technology and he wishes to test its capability.

However, when Gir forgets to bring the new guidance chip with him, Zim and Gir must find a way to get back home, despite the fact that they have very little understanding of the way the city functions.
