[The episode opens on a shot of the cottage with some happy background music. Cuphead and Mugman are running around the house laughing whilst playing with a tyre.]
Elder Kettle: Boys! Our favorite radio show is about to start!
[The boys stop playing and gasp.]
Elder Kettle: Hey! [looks through the window] You're not playing with my lucky tire again, are ya?
Both: Of course not, dearest Kettle.
[Elder Kettle pops back inside the house as the radio announcer starts speaking.]
Announcer: Live from beautiful downtown Inkwell City... [Cuphead and Mugman are relieved but notice the tyre rolling away] it's everyone's favorite game show, Roll the Dice!
[Cuphead and Mugman chase after the rolling tyre.]
[Cut to Elder Kettle excitedly tuning his radio.]
[Cut to the signal tower flashing a red light.]
Announcer: Featuring your master of ceremonies, [cut to inside the studio] King Dice!
[As the audience clap and cheer, the band play their instruments and as the band play their instruments, King Dice enters the stage vocalising and scatting. He makes his way over to the microphone.]
King Dice: [cut to Porkrind listening on his radio] [cut to some other people listening] All right. Let's jump right in! [Dice goes onscreen] Who will be the first lucky contestant to Roll the Dice?
[A spotlight starts circling across the room.]
Eggplant: Oh me!
[The spotlight goes past him...]
King Dice: Will it be... You!
[...and reaches a telephone.]
Telephone: Yay!
Rabbit: All right, Telephone!
[The telephone starts hopping from his seat to the stage.]
King Dice: It's your lucky day, sir. Get on up here and Roll the Dice.
[As the telephone reaches the stage, he tries to touch Dice's microphone but Dice pushes him back.]
King Dice: Ah, ah ah. Don't touch. Now, all you gotta do is make it through three rounds, then you get to enter the mystery prize room.
[Cut to the mystery prize room as fanfare music plays and a spotlight circles around the door.]
King Dice: First up, Name That Tune!
[Dice slides over to the band as they play a tune.]
Telephone: Ah! "Little Brown Jug."
King Dice: Correct!
[The crowd cheers for the telephone.]
King Dice: Now, on to the trivia round! Which is the only mammal that cannot jump?
[He holds the microphone towards the telephone.]
Telephone: Hmm... The elephant.
King Dice: Correct!
[Everyone cheers except for the two elephants as they feel insulted.]
Elephant: Show-offs.
[One of the card people pushes a dice towards Dice and the telephone.]
King Dice: Now, for the final game. All you gotta do is Roll the Dice! Roll any number and you'll go to the mystery prize room.
[The telephone hops up onto the stand and rolls the dice. The telephone watches in excitement as it lands on two sixes. Confetti falls above the telephone.]
King Dice: We have a winner! You are one lucky phone! Now, off you go to the mystery prize room! [the telephone hops into the mystery prize room] We'll be right back.
Telephone: Hello?
[The telephone looks towards a boiler in the back of the mystery prize room. As the single light bulb above flickers, the boiler door opens showing flames and a tube extends outwards trying to suck the telephone's soul in.]
Telephone: Uh-oh.
[The telephone tries to open the door which is now locked. The telephone's soul gets sucked into the boiler making the telephone motionless. The boiler door closes and then a platform the telephone is standing on moves causing the telephone to fall down onto a mattress. A camera zoom out shows a sign that reads: "Thanks for Playing!" Not a very honest 'prize' from the 'prize room' is it.]
[Cut to King Dice's dressing room with some old photos on a wall. The camera moves to the right to show some of Dice's card workers getting him ready for the next part of the show. One card redraws one of the dots on his head, one irons his suit and one straightens his moustache. Dice clicks his fingers telling the card people to go away. He then leans towards his reflection in his dressing room mirror.]
King Dice: Who's the host with the most, hmm?
Dice's Reflection: You are, you handsome devil. [kisses]
King Dice: Oh! You're terrible!
[Dice gets up for the next part of the show.]
Announcer: Now, we return to your favorite radio game show...
[Cut to a wanted poster of Cuphead reading: "wanted by the Devil".]
Announcer: ...Roll the Dice!
King Dice: Who will be our next lucky contestant?
[Suddenly, Cuphead and Mugman with the runaway tyre burst in. As the tyre reaches one of the rows of seats and continues rolling, the contestant picking spotlight stops on Cuphead.]
King Dice: You! You're the next contestant on Roll the Dice!
[As the audience applaud Cuphead, Cuphead himself who is beyond excited, takes to the stage. He grabs onto Dice's leg and doesn't let go. Dice attempts to shake Cuphead off.]
King Dice: Welcome to the show! Now, let go of my leg and tell us a little bit about yourself.
[Cuphead lets go of Dice's leg; Dice straightens his trouser leg. Cuphead snatches the microphone with energy.]
Cuphead: My name is Cuphead! I like roller coasters, and hot dogs, and tilt-a-whirl, and hot dogs, and flying swings and hot dogs, and throwing up on roller coasters in that order!
[Dice takes back the microphone as Cuphead shakes anxiously.]
King Dice: What a lovely introduction. I--
[Cuphead snatches back the microphone.]
Cuphead: Wow! I can't believe I'm standing next to the King Dice! You're way [views Dice's height] shorter in person.
[The audience laugh at Dice. Dice who is annoyed, takes back the microphone.]
King Dice: So--
Cuphead: Wait. Everyone in town can hear this, right?
King Dice: That's right. Now first--
[Cuphead snatches back the microphone and blows a raspberry into it.]
Cuphead: That's for you, Jimmy! And you know what for.
[Dice tries to take the microphone back but fails.]
Cuphead: So Dice, you're an entertainer, right? I'm kind of entertaining too. I got a joke for you. These two cannibals are eating a clown, and, uh... Wait. How did it go? Uh... Wait.
Cuphead: Uhhhhhhhhhhhh.
[Dice remembers something and looks over at the wanted poster and sees it showing Cuphead. He looks back at Cuphead...]
Cuphead: Uhhhhhhhhhhhh.
[...he looks back at the poster. He looks back at Cuphead...]
Cuphead: Uhhhhhhhhhhhh.
[...realisation! Dice with a confident smile, takes the microphone back from a Cuphead who is lost in thought.]
King Dice: Now, a quick word from our sponsor. We'll be right back.
[Dice quickly dashes away leaving the audience applauding Cuphead who is left waving at them.]
[Cut to Dice calling the Devil at a phone next to the wanted poster.]
King Dice: Get me the boss.
[Cut to the Devil having a relaxing bath with some soft jazz in the background. Henchman walks over with a telephone.]
Henchman: Uh, hey, boss. Phone call.
Devil: Urgh. This better be important.
[The devil picks up the phone.]
King Dice: It's your number one calling.
Devil: Who?
King Dice: King Dice? Your number one?
Devil: Dice, you know I'm very busy. What do you want?
King Dice: I just captured someone you might be interested in. A certain... cup?
[The Devil sits up causing the cucumber slices to fall off his eyes as he processes this piece of info.]
Devil: You actually have him?
King Dice: Just sit back, relax, and I'll deliver his soul directly to you.
Devil: This is why you're my number one. Oh, and number one?
King Dice: Yes?
Devil: I hate disappointment.
[The Devil hands back Henchman the phone as he sits back sighing happily.]
[Dice walks back onto the stage next to Cuphead who was definitely waving the whole time.]
King Dice: And we're back! First up, you need to--
Cuphead: Name That Tune!
[Dice takes back the microphone in annoyance trying to hide it. He walks over to the band and tells one of the card people to play an easy tune.]
Cuphead: Oh, that's too easy. It's... Wait. I know this. Hmm... "Sprinkle, Sprinkle, Mr. Car"?
[Cut to Elder Kettle sitting in his armchair flabbergasted.]
Elder Kettle: "Sprinkle, Sprinkle, Mr. Car"?! [shakes radio aggressively] COME ON!
[Back at the studio.]
King Dice: No.
Cuphead: Hmm, then I better use my help line. My brother, Mugman, is the smartest person I know.
[Cut to Mugman watching in the audience. He freezes in terror clenching the seat as the spotlight reaches him.]
King Dice (OS): Well, it appears your help line is frozen in terror.
Cuphead: Oh, right. Mugman's got really bad stage fright. Aw, nuts! I guess I lose.
[As Cuphead starts walking off, the band start playing: "For he's a jolly good fellow" but quickly stop after Dice's order.]
King Dice: Since your help line [grabs Cuphead back] was frozen in terror, you should get another chance. Shouldn't he, folks?
[As the audience members cheer for Cuphead, Dice uses the opportunity to make things easier.]
King Dice: [whispering] What's the name of your favorite song? Beautiful.
[Dice runs over to whisper the song request to a band member and then runs back to Cuphead.]
King Dice: Okay, Cuphead. Name this tune.
[The band then start playing Cuphead's favourite song which Cuphead quickly notices.]
Cuphead: But you just asked me my favorite song.
King Dice: [moves over to Cuphead] Which song?
Cuphead: "The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze"?
King Dice: Correct!
[Well at least that's over.]
King Dice: And now, on to the--
Cuphead: [snatches microphone] Trivia round!
King Dice: [snatches back microphone] [agitated] Isn't he great, folks? Now, the dreaded Poodoo Cave Monster lives in which cave?
[The audience gasp.]
Cuphead: [thinking] Hmm...
[Dice prepares to step in.]
King Dice: The "Poodoo Cave" Monster. Let's just think out loud a little. [moves over to Cuphead] Say the name of the cave monster.
Cuphead: Poodoo?
King Dice: Correct!
[Cut to Mugman who is still frozen in terror.]
King Dice: [pushing Cuphead] Now, it's time to Roll the Dice! Roll any number and go straight to the mystery prize room. Literally, any number. It's basically impossible to lose.
[Cut to the mystery prize room featuring the same circling spotlight from before.]
Cuphead: [gasps] And then I'll get what's coming to me!
King Dice: Couldn't have said it better myself.
[Cuphead climbs up to roll the dice but before doing so, he cracks his head in different positions and spits on his hands and rubs it in; Cuphead prepares to roll the dice, but stops at the last second.]
Cuphead: Wait! I remember how the joke goes! [grabs microphone and starts walking to the front of the stage while Dice gets frustrated] Two cannibals are hanging out eating their lunch, which is a clown, you see? 'Cause they're cannibals. And one cannibal says to the other cannibal "Does this taste funny to you?"
[The audience laugh.]
Cuphead: We'll be right back.
[The band starts to play but Dice stops them.]
King Dice: No! We are not going to break!
[Dice carries Cuphead and places him next to the dice.]
King Dice: Roll the Dice!
[Cuphead and Dice look over to the audience as they hear them pitching in.]
Audience: Roll the Dice! Roll the Dice!
Cuphead: Watch this.
[Cuphead rolls the dice, much to Dice's excitement however the dices go out of control and shatter on the floor. Dice's moustache then stretches out like two tree branches. Dice moves over to the shattered dice and pick up some of the broken pieces.]
King Dice: How?
Cuphead: Aw, dang it. I guess I lost.
King Dice: Oh, that's actually a good thing. When the dice shatter, [pushes Cuphead towards mystery prize room] you go directly to the mystery prize room, yay! In you go.
Elephant: Hey! He lost! He's not supposed to get a prize.
Female Elephant: This show is rigged!
King Dice: You, shut up! Get in there!
[Cuphead takes this into process as Dice tries to push Cuphead into the mystery prize room whilst the audience boo at him.]
Cuphead: Rigged? Hmph!
[Cuphead goes over into the audience to grab Mugman who is still frozen in terror.]
Cuphead: Come on, Mugsy. Let's leave with our dignity intact.
King Dice: No! You have to win!
[Dice pulls the right side of the wall's moustache like a crowbar.]
King Dice: You're going in that room one way or another.
[Dice starts running after Cuphead and Mugman, but the runaway tyre comes out from behind and runs him over. The tyre then rolls Cuphead and Mugman out of the studio before Dice can go further. As Dice weakly gets up, the Devil's elevator arrives behind the curtains; Henchman opens the door.]
Henchman: Uh, boss wants to see ya.
[Dice sighs knowing this won't be good.]
[Cut to Elder Kettle's house where Cuphead and Mugman roll up the hill on the tyre and slam into the front door. Elder Kettle opens the door as the tyre rolls back down the hill.]
Elder Kettle: IT'S "TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR"!
[Cut to Dice and Henchman in the elevator. Dice looks nervous while Henchman looks anxiously excited.]
Henchman: Uh, gee, Mr. King Dice, sir, I know this is a little bit awkward, but, um, could I get your autograph?
King Dice: Not the time.
[Henchman shows a disappointed face.]
[The elevator stops and Dice steps out with a happier tune.]
King Dice: Hey-hey! Oh, um... You're way over there.
[Dice sweats as he walks by some very frightening paintings of the Devil.]
King Dice: Done some redecorating, I see. Uh... Say, um, how...
Devil: So, Dice, you know Henchman, don't you?
[Dice anxiously looks back at Henchman who's all the way back at the elevator.]
Henchman: Hi!
King Dice: Yeah. I know Henchman.
Devil: He's a big fan of your show. Never misses an episode.
King Dice: [gulps] Is... is that a fact?
Devil: He was telling me that tonight, you had your first loss. Ever.
King Dice: Look, I can explain!
Devil: SILENCE!
[The Devil's throne turns but the Devil is not there. The Devil jump scares Dice as he suddenly is stood next to him.]
Devil: You had him right in the palm OF YOUR HAND! [lifts Dice up with his pitchfork] I AM VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED!
King Dice: Just give a second chance to your number one!
[The Devil drops Dice with his pitchfork leaving Dice to get up weakly whilst cracking his head.]
Devil: You are no longer my number one. And you will not be hosting your precious little show.
King Dice: But if I'm not hosting, then who?
[Cut to the TV tower flashing again.]
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen! Tonight's master of ceremonies, [cut to inside of the studio] the Henchman!
[Henchman walks on stage in King Dice's suit which is way too big for him.]
Henchman: Uh, hi! Time to Roll the D... Whoa!
[Henchman flies into one of the card people's tuba and tries to free himself by kicking and trying to make noise.]
[The end.]
