In the exposition , Kabe recounts a Bith legend about the afterlife to an individual known as " The Scrapper " , who takes little interest in his legend . At night , the Muftak and Kabe sleep in the cavernous stone pipeways beneath Mos Eisley ' s spaceport . During business hours , Muftak and Kabe prowl the cantina stealing the belongings of the cantina ' s patrons . They give the proceeds to Ackmena , who pays rent on their behalf to the cantina ' s owner Chalmun . Kabe and Ackmena like each other , with the latter liking his musical voice . When the time comes to pay their " rent " , Kabe learns that Muftak has spent their money on alcohol the previous night . Muftak and Kabe suspect that the Abyssin Myo was involved in the Muftak ' s change of fortunes last night . Kabe instead pays Ackmena 45 credit s from his own pocket . However , Ackmena tells them that they are still 60 credits short and gives them until tonight to cough up the rest of the money . Later , the Muftak asks Kabe about where he got the money from . Kabe explains that he obtained the money from selling the Kloo horn of the Bith Lirin Car ' n . The Muftak then tells Kabe that Myo , who owes them both a significant sum , won the said horn last night from Lirin Car ' n himself . The Muftak had pocketed the horn with the intent of converting it to funds later today in reparation of Myo ' s debt . Kabe admits taking the horn from him while he slept and selling it to a Scrapper for cash . Muftak is angry that Kabe stole the Kloo horn while he slept . Kabe tells them that they will sort out the issue of paying tonight ' s rent first before dealing with Myo ' s wrath . Meanwhile , a vindictive Lirin Car ' n hires the Sakiyan bounty hunter Djas Puhr to recover his father ' s horn , which he lost to Myo . Car ' n informs Puhr that someone stole the horn from Myo . Car ' n agrees to pay Puhr 200 credits to recover the horn . Djas Puhr is familiar with Mos Eisley and its environs . In order to pay tonight ' s rent , Muftak embarks on a plan that involves finding the " Smuggler " , the " Pig - Nosed Man " and the " Walrus - Faced Man . " Inside the cantina , Muftak finds Myo and the Scrapper haggling over the Kloo horn . The Scrapper claims that he sold the Kloo horn for 300 credits but Myo does not believe him . When prompted , the Scrapper reveals that he sold it to Kabe . Elsewhere in the cantina , Djas Puhr attempts to steal a cane from the Smuggler and the Wookiee only to be surprised by Han Solo and Chewbacca . Han tells Puhr that he was going to pay Jabba but that he had to jettison his cargo when the " Millennium Falcon " was boarded by the Galactic Empire . After striking a deal not to collect the bounty on Han , Djas Puhr warns Han that Jabba the Hutt has placed a bounty a boutny on the latter ' s head . Meanwhile , Myo angrily confronts Kabe and chokes her . Kabe manages to save herself by implicating Muftak . The two decide to find Djas Puhr before he finds and kills them . Elsewhere , Greedo along with the " Pig - Nosed Man " and the " Walrus - Faced Man " confront Lirin Car ' n over an unpaid debt . It is revealed that Car ' n had secretly planned to sell the legendary Kloo horn of his father Lirin D ' avi that morning , seeking to settle his debts with Greedo . Lirin tells Greedo he doesn ' t have the money and offers to pay it nextweek . Instead of killing him , Greedo raises his interest rate to 35 percent . After intimidating Lirin , Greedo decides to settle scores with his old adversary Han Solo . Embarking on his plan , Muftak meets with the " Pig - Nosed Man " Dr Evazan , who pays him money to pay the balance to the " Smuggler " Solo . Per their arrangement , the money will be converted into drugs for Dr Evazan to consume . Muftak meets with Solo , who tells him he had to drop his cargo due to an Imperial patrol . Muftak manages to speak with Chewbacca and convince him to accompany him as he explains their " shared predicament " to his client in the hope of alleviating his fury . Murtak meets with Djas Puhr , Lirn Car ' n , and Myo to find a solution to their interconnected debts . While they are discussing Greedo ' s plan to collect the bounty on Solo and Evazan ' s medication , Luke Skywalker , whom Muftak mistakes for a teenage girl , enters the cantina . As the discussion continues , Djas Puhr proposes a wage that they see Han Solo survive the day while Greedo fails to collect his bounty since he has no friends but those he pays . If he is right , Puhr offers to pay Lirin Car ' n ' s debt to Myo . In return , Myo will pay his debt to the Muftak . Muftak will then pay what he and Kabe owe Ackmena is wrong . However , if Solo loses , Puhr wages that Evazan will kill Muftak . Myo will then figure out that Kabe took the horn from the Muftak and pawned it and would probably kill her . With Lirin ' s debt unpaid , Greedo would take Chewbacca ' s pelt and Solo ' s calp as trophies . A pessimistic Muftak departs to inform Dr Evazan about his dropped shipment of illicit narcotics . While waiting , Muftak accepts a drink from Kabe . He then watches as Ponda Baba attacks Skywalker . Skywalker ' s companion , the " Old Man " Obi - Wan Kenobi , then draws his lightsaber and slices into Ponda Baba and Dr Evazan . Chewbacca reassures Muftak that sometimes things take care of themselves . Muftak and the others then watch Solo kill Greedo with a blaster shot . Honoring his bargain , Puhr pays Lirin Car ' n ' s debt to Myo . Myo then pays Muftak his share ; allow him and Kabe to pay the rest of their rent to Ackmena , who then pays Chalmun . While celebrating with a drink , Muftak stumbles but is helped to his feet by his ally Lirin Car ' n .
