- On Inkwell Isle, Cuphead and his brother, Mugman, are two fun-loving children who live under the watchful eye of Elder Kettle. Despite Elder Kettle's warnings, the brothers wander off to the Devil's Casino and begin playing craps. When they go on a winning streak, the Devil appears and makes a deal, offering to give them all the money in the casino if they win the next roll and threatening to take their souls if they lose. Cuphead accepts the offer but loses by rolling snake eyes. As he and Mugman beg for mercy, the Devil offers them another deal: if the brothers can collect the "soul contracts" from his runaway debtors by midnight the next day, the Devil might spare the two. Cuphead and Mugman return to Elder Kettle, who gives them a drink that allows them to fire blasts of energy from their fingers and warns them that the debtors may not turn in their soul contracts willingly.
The brothers travel around the neighboring Inkwell Isles, fighting the debtors in order to obtain their contracts. As they enter the second Isle, Elder Kettle notices that the duo are getting stronger from their battles and urges them to "do the right thing" when they meet the Devil. After Cuphead and Mugman enter the third Isle, King Dice reports the brothers' progress to the Devil and tells him that he is suspicious of their intentions, to which the Devil replies that there is nothing to worry about; if the brothers were to try anything, he would be waiting for them.
The brothers eventually collect all of the soul contracts and return to the Devil's Casino. King Dice stops them, saying that their success has caused him to lose a bet. In retaliation, he sets up an extended casino-styled battle in an attempt to get revenge. After defeating King Dice, the brothers confront the Devil, who tries to tempt them by inviting them to join his team if they give him the soul contracts. If the player chooses to turn them over, Cuphead and Mugman are brainwashed into becoming the Devil's demonic lackeys, and the game ends. If they refuse, the Devil becomes furious at the brothers for not upholding their end of the bargain and attacks them. Cuphead and Mugman defeat the Devil, burn the contracts, and return home. Learning that they have nothing to fear from the Devil anymore, the former debtors honor the brothers for their heroic actions.
