Elder Kettle: Guys, hang on! Thank the stars I caught up with you.Cuphead: We have to find the Elder Kettle.The Devil: You have 'til midnight tomorrow to collect every one of the souls! Otherwise I'll be the one collecting yours!.Collect their souls for me, and I just might pardon you two mugs. The Devil: I have here a list of my runaway debtors.Mugman: Th-There must be another w-way to repay you,.

The Devil: Win one more roll, and all the loot in my casino is yours! But if you lose, I'll have your souls! Deal?.The Devil: Now, how about we raise the stakes?.King Dice: Hot dog! These fellas can't lose!.Learning that they no longer have anything to fear from the Devil, the former debtors honor the brothers for their heroic actions. Cuphead and Mugman triumph over him, burn the contracts, and race home. If the player declines, the Devil becomes furious at the brothers' refusal to honor their deal and fights them himself. If the player decides to do so, the Devil turns Cuphead and Mugman into his demonic lackeys and the game ends. What happens next depends on the choice of the player. After the brothers defeat King Dice, the Devil demands that they hand over the contracts in exchange for "joining his team". He has lost a bet with the Devil, presumably over whether Cuphead and Mugman would be able to complete their task, and forces them to fight his own henchmen before confronting them directly.
Once they have the contracts, they return to the Devil's Casino, but its manager King Dice blocks their way. On entering the second island, the Elder Kettle informs them about "doing the right thing" when they come up against the Devil again.

The brothers travel around the Inkwell Isles, fighting the residents who have lost their souls to the Devil in order to obtain their contracts. They visit Elder Kettle, who gives them a potion that allows them to fire blasts from their fingers to aid in their quest, but also warns them the debtors may change themselves to different things in attempt to stop them. The Devil makes a deal with them: collect the "soul contracts" that signify his ownership of the souls of his runaway debtors by midnight the next day, and he might let them keep theirs. Cuphead loses by rolling snake eyes, and he and Mugman beg for mercy. 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. When they go on a winning streak, the Devil himself offers to raise the stakes. Against the elder's warnings, the brothers enter the Devil's Casino and begin playing craps. On the fictional Inkwell Isles, Cuphead and his brother Mugman are two fun-loving kids who live under the watchful eye of Elder Kettle. 13.4.1.2 Cuphead: Comic Capers & Curios.
