Cuphead has been having constant nightmares about the Devil chasing after his soul, following the brothers' escape from the Carnevil. So Mugman takes him to an elderly sage for a solution to this problem.

Coincidentally, the Devil himself is frequently reminded of this incident by Stickler, the accountant who logs ever soul taken by the Devil, and so the Devil sets out to collect Cuphead's soul, personally, to shut him up.
