Peter manages to convince Lois to leave him behind with the guys to watch their traditional Rocky IV together to celebrate Dolph Lundgren's birthday, but they find their DVD copy won't play. They go to the Quahog Mini-Mart where they find a Russian bootleg copy in a DVD bin, but find the ending has been altered so that Rocky loses. Peter angrily writes Vladimir Putin a letter and asserts that any American can beat any Russian. A short time later, Putin arrives and takes Peter up on his fight challenge. Peter finds himself at a disadvantage with Putin's bodyguards holding him back.
However, Putin is impressed with Peter's spirit and invites him to come back to Russia with him. But there, he finds out not only about Putin fixing the Presidential election but that NFL football commissioner Roger Goodell also conspires to control football games with him. Facing a suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Peter challenges Putin to a boxing match where they are mostly evenly matched, but after seeing a hallucination of Lois from the beating, Putin and Peter settle things by dancing. In Peter's closing monologue, he reveals that Putin poisoned his tea before returning home, giving him a bad case of radiation sickness.
