They tell the residents that they are no longer under control of the Devil and they all cheer the brothers for their heroic deed. After defeating the Devil, the brothers toss the soul contracts in the flames and race home. The two disagree, and the Devil then battles the brothers in retaliation for being told that the whole deal is off. The Devil then asks for the contracts and in return they will 'join his team'. Once they make it back to the Casino, King Dice reveals that he too lost a bet, presumably about whether or not Cuphead and Mugman would be able to retrieve the contracts. Eventually, Elder Kettle tells the brothers that when facing the Devil again, they must 'do the right thing'. The brothers travel around Inkwell Isle, earning soul contracts from residents who have lost their souls to King Dice and the Devil. They visit Elder Kettle, who gives them a potion that allows them to fire blasts from their fingers to aid in their quest. The brothers beg for mercy, so the Devil makes a deal with them: collect the contracts that signify his ownership of the souls of his runaway debtors by midnight the next day, and he might let them off the hook. Cuphead rolls snake eyes and he and Mugman must give up their souls. If Cuphead and Mugman can win another time, they will own the entire casino if not, the Devil will have their souls. When the brothers go on a winning streak, the casino's manager King Dice calls upon the Devil, who raises the stakes. Against the elder's warnings, the brothers wander into the Devil's Casino and play craps. On the fictional Inkwell Isle, Cuphead and his brother Mugman are two fun-loving kids who live under the watchful eye of Elder Kettle.
