You can probably imagine what happens next - their losing roll kickstarts the game! The duo are tasked with collecting all the 'soul contracts' from the Devil's runaway debtors, and success means he might spare their souls. But if they fail the roll, the Devil takes their souls. In the game, their winning streak catches the attention of the Devil himself, leading him to offer them a stake-raising deal: win one more roll and they get all the money in the casino.
We'll get to catch up with the residents of Inkwell Island, where Cuphead and his brother Mugman are two fun-loving kids who wander into the Devil's Casino and start playing craps. 'The Cuphead Show!' follows many of the same characters and story beats featured in its video game counterpart, but now has the benefit of 10 episodes to expand on them.
