On the Inkwell Isle, Cuphead and his brother, Mugman, are two fun-loving cups who live under the watchful eye of the Elder Kettle. Against his warnings, the brothers wander off, enter the Devil's Casino and begin playing craps. When they go on a winning streak, the Devil himself appears and offers to raise the stakes: If Cuphead and Mugman can win one more roll, they will receive all the money in the casino; if not, the Devil will take their souls. Cuphead loses by rolling snake eyes, and he and Mugman beg for mercy. The Devil makes a deal with them: If the two can collect the "soul contracts" from his runaway debtors by midnight the next day, he might spare them, but will they get all the soul contracts? or will they become the Devil's new satanic minions?
