The episode starts with Popee eating an apple as he is walking. He sees Kedamono with knives in his hand walking. Out of curiosity, Popee decides to spy on Kedamono behind a tent. Kedamono angrily starts to throw knives at a chalk cutout of a person. This shocks Popee and he decides to keep spying. Kedamono is seen to be enjoying this as his mask shows him holding back laughter. Kedamono finishes off by throwing a knife right in the middle of the cutout showing death. Popee drops his apple offscreen and it can be seen rolling to the back of Kedamono's foot. He turns around and picks up the apple. His mask displays that he likes the apple and is about to take a bite when Popee walks up to him and snatches the apple from him. When Kedamono realizes that his apple was taken, he looks to his right and is shocked and scared to see Popee. He is afraid that Popee will find out what he did to the cutout. In fear, he backs away from Popee and then attempts to run. Kedamono doesn't get far until Popee grabs him and puts his arm around him in a friendly way and proceeds to put an apple on Kedamono's head. A transition occurs and it pans to show a closeup of Kedamono hands chained to a wall preventing him from moving. Popee starts to show the sword to Keadamono. He looks in surprise as he sees Popee juggling the knife. Popee chuckles a little bit showing enjoyment of tormenting Kedamono. Popee proceeds to use a cutout to show what he is gonna do. He throws the first knife and proceeds to miss unpurpose to intimidate Kedamono, he shows no remorse. He doesn't even try to hit the apple. He throws knives until the face falls off. In fear, Kedamono proceeds to cry. Popee feel like something is missing, so he draws a smile on the apple and scribbles on Kedamono's mask to silence him. He throws the knife in the air before throwing it at Kedamono. Popee completely missed the apple and it ends up cutting right into the mask killing Kedamono. In complete shock and horror Popee's eyes fly out his eyes in a commedical fashion and he proceeds to put his hands behind his head and lower his body to his legs looking down at the ground. He continues this until he notices a bright light illumating over him. He slowly gets back up and the camera pans to Kedamono's soul flying into heaven. When Kedamono realizes that he's dead and he is going to heaven, he looks at himself and his wings. His mask dispalys a smile as he floats towards heaven. He pulls out a red handkerchief and waves to Popee farewell. Popee blankly watches Kedamono as he flies away from him. Popee then proceeds to pull out a piece of chicken in attempts to lure Kedamono back from heaven. He shakes the chicken left and right and immediately after Kedamono falls for it and speeds down to Popee to grab the chicken. Popee immediately grabs him in his arm and wraps it around the soul of Kedamono. Kedamono struggles to get out of Popee's grasp and proceeds to get handcuffed to the wall again. Popee tries to aim for the apple, but misses again and hits Kedamono's mask again the same way he did the first time. Kedamono then attempts to fly to heaven again, but as soon as he reaches it, Popee uses the chicken again to lure him back. Popee continues to do this repeatedly, he noticely gets more frustrated everytime he misses the apple. He does this until he throws a fit by holding his hands behind his head. He proceeds to lower his body and stomp his legs inn the ground quickly, He bends back in frustration, stomps the ground again and then kicks the ground. He finally puts his hand on his face and taps his foot on the ground. Popee crouches down with his hand still in his face. Kedamono rises again and starts to float to heaven. Popee removes his hand from his face and looks up at the sky. He pulls out the chicken again and does the same process by luring Kedamono. He does this a couple of times until it pans back to Popee looking visibly exhausted with bags under his eyes. He tries another attempt, but his vision get blurry before he can do anything, he whipes his eyes with his hand. He finally throws the knife at Kedamono's soul but misses, he hits the wood instead. The knife bounces off the wood and stabs Popee right in the face. Popee falls to the ground and dies. His soul rises out of his body. He looks at himself, but instead of flying and accepting his afterlife, he immediately rips the floating halo from his head and stomps on it repeatedly with anger. The episode ends with Popee putting his hands back behind his head in frustration and bending backwards. Then he proceeds to his hand in fist and swing it in an disapproving notion as the camera pans out.
