Swine Trek is an episode from the second season of Garfield and Friends.
Synopsis
While suffering from fever, Orson has a dream about the barn being a space ship flying through the outer space.
Plot
Having caught a fever, Orson is resting in bed and Wade is giving him a glass of orange juice as remedy for the cold. Orson states, that such remedy is useless due to viral nature of cold. Bo brings Orson a platter of soup, while Booker and Sheldon argue about handling diseases - Booker states that "the cold is starved and the fever is beaten", while Sheldon claims that "the cold is beaten and the fever is starved." Lanolin covers Orson up and adjusts his bed in rather ungentle way, which ends up with Orson having his pillow tied around his head.
Wade is frightened by Orson's warning about the possible germ infection caused by presence of the sick; the rest of healthy animals leave Orson in the barn to rest. Roy is expressing his disapproval of Orson's lack of gratitude, while Booker explains such conduct with Orson's current health state.
Meanwhile, Orson is falling asleep and his dream begins with a phrase from Star Trek series about the space being the final frontier. The barn is imagined as U.S.S. Enterprise-like space ship named "US. CO.OP." , with characteristic engines mounted on external pylons, cruising through landscapes such as sausage nebula, asteroid belts, Limburger Planet. The crew of the barn-spaceship is composed of farm animals associated with the original Star Trek characters: Orson as Captain Kirk, Sheldon as Spock, Lanolin as Uhura, Wade as McCoy, Bo as Scotty, Roy as Sulu and Booker wearing thick beard and ushanka fur hat (parody of Chekov).
Captain Orson receives quite difficult-to-understand report from the engineer Bo-Scotty, while Lanonlin-Uhura attempts to establish radio contact, which turns out to be a prank call. Sheldon-Spock detects signal from a planet Dheneb-92, and Orson decides to investigate it. U.S. Co.Op. heads to the planet.
