Background
In 2017, Adult Swim showcased their new television pilots including Hot Streets and Tender Touches as part of their "On The Green" tour across the United States.

Plot
Underground, a monster holds French and a construction worker captive. It moves the worker's spleen to a pile. Suddenly, Chubbie Webbers appears pushing a churros cart. Hidden, Jen shoots French free. Branksi climbs out of the cart and tells the monster is under arrest. French handcuffs the monster, and Branski says churros are all on French. Biting into a churro, French finds they're $5 each. Not having the money, French says he'll pay later. Angered, Chubbie says French must lick him. At Branski's house, Branski tells Jen it is mummy season but also it is the anniversary of her mom's death. Saddened, Jen takes a bite out of an apple. Horrified, Branski tells Jen it is not hers and stomps it. Branki tells Jen he has to go and find mummies. Jen talks with Chubbie, but Branski says Chubbie has to help him find mummies too. Alone, Jen asks her phone to call her friend Matt. Telling Matt she'll visit him, Jen walks through the city to Matt's place. On her walk, Jen meets Donovan Kim who hands out pamphlets "Got a Minute for Love?" Ignoring him, Jen calls Matt again but finds out he is abroad. Her purse is stolen a homeless person, but Kim chokes him. Kim introduces himself. Elsewhere, Branski and French are driving around for mummies when French's device detects one but Branski says Chubby can find them. Seeing someone in bandages, French stops and punches them in the face. Branski points out the burn victim. Disappointed, French asks Branski to teach him about mummies. However, Chubby points out the mummies in the alleyway. The three follow the mummies to the dock. Kim tells Jen about his charity. It involves listening to starving people's stories. Jen explains Branski is her only living relative. Branski and French find the mummies waiting by the dock. However, the mummies notice Branski and French talking. Branski and French shoot but Branski says their wraps are bulletproof as they're captured. Kim walks Jen home. Jen and Kim's kiss alerts the mummies holding Branski and French to swim to Egypt.

In a dream, Kim and Jen fly aboard a winged Chubby in an expanse of coreless apples. Jen awakes to find Chubby chewing on a protrusion from her stomach. Kim shows up and explains the kiss gifted her a silver thread connecting her to mummy heaven. Kim also reveals he is a mummy. Branski interrupts to ask Jen about apples. Accumulating silver threads in her stomach, Jen asks Branski what would happen if she told him she was a mummy. In response, he says he would have to kill her. Jen and Chubbie arrive to a dock where a cruise ship is headed to Cairo. However, French follows the signal from his mummy detector to find Jen. Despite Jen's plea, French demands her arrest. Chubbie and Jen flee into a warehouse where French tracks them. While Chubbie distracts French, Jen reveals herself as a mummy and uses her powers to escape. French witnesses both Kim and Jen holding hands as the cruise ship disembarks for Cairo and laments "I wish I was a mummy." Later in Cairo, Anubis is about to marry Jen and Kim but Branski crashes the wedding. Branski explains but Kim strangles him. Jen kills Kim. Upset, Anubis tells his guards to seize him but Branski shoots Anubis whose crown flies off and onto Chubby and says "Seize you later." As Anubis dies, the wedding guests revert from mummies back to humans. Jen and Branski admit there should be no secrets between them so he explains his position on apples. Jen learns she ate an apple Branski masturbated with. In the end, the wedding guests declare Chubby their new king.
