After destroying a large part of Endsville, Jack then kidnaps Grim to cut off his head out of revenge for Grim decapitating him years ago.
Billy, realizing that Grim is in trouble, runs to get Mandy to help save Grim. Mandy states that Billy needs to distract Jack, while Mandy sets up a series of pranks.
Billy pops up just as Jack is about to cut off Grim's head and distracts him by pulling up his robe and shaking his rump (revealing that he was wearing nothing under his robe) at him, distracting and confusing him.
However, it is revealed that Jack knew Mandy was setting up pranks, and that he is not afraid of them.
Then with the help of Irwin accidently tripping ALL of the pranks, and causing Jack to laugh and his minions to laugh (literally) to death, the gang manages to save Grim and banish Jack to the Underworld where his pumpkin head is implied to be smashed by demons.
