## Summary

American Boot's hat gets stolen by Hatless Spy and he tries to get it back.

## Plot

One ordinary morning, RED Heavy is sitting on a log overlooking the map, he is interrupted by Scout, who appears from behind him to call him a "Fat Bastard." Enraged, Heavy punches Scout over the cliff, where he falls to his death. He then overhears the Engineer declaring that he's building a sentry, Heavy decides to go check it out.

Nearby, Miss Pauling is playing a videogame, but then the boss pulls a cheap move and she gets a Game Over. The Heavy arrives and sees that the Engineer is simply sitting around. Heavy insists that Engineer gets to work and they being to argue, mid-argument the Engineer is killed by Hatless Spy with an Eternal Reward, the Heavy sees Spy's disguise and attempts to alert the rest of the team. But Hatless Spy uses the Engineer's wrench to trap Heavy in a Dispenser; he then removes his disguise. Miss Pauling draws her own gun on Hatless Spy in an attempt to stop him herself, however the other Spy Brother, Hat Spy, appears behind her and knocks her out with his magic bat which turns her into a television, which Hatless Spy quickly runs off with.

Meanwhile, American Boot is unboxing item crates and wears the Dr's Dapper Topper he found. Hatless Spy approaches Soldier and offers to trade TV Miss Pauling for American Boot’s new hat, he is not convinced until Miss Pauling shows him drugs, then American Boot takes the TV; however, he then refuses to hand over his hat to Hatless Spy. Hatless Spy tells him that he lives in his suit; we then see the Soldier trapped within the folds of the Spy’s suit, along with Merasmus for some reason. Before Soldier can figure out what just happened, Hatless Spy runs off with the hat and Miss Pauling tells Soldier to hunt him down.

Hatless Spy hijacks the RED Sniper's van while he is sleeping and drives off, however Soldier has already grabbed onto the back of the vehicle, he begins climbing on top in order to reach the front seat. However, he is confronted by the RED Demoman who is unhappy at Soldier boarding the vehicle without a ticket, he smashes his bottle of Scrumpy in Soldier’s face, sending him flying off the back. Realizing he needs another plan, Soldier uses a nearby Scream Phone to call for help; he reaches Scout, who is initially uncooperative but agrees to help after Soldier points a Frontier Justice at the phone. Scout teleports over a box of dynamite with an Engineer's head, he says "Dynamite." And the box explodes, catapulting Soldier into the air.

The Soldier lands at RED Medic’s outdoor laboratory, where Medic is currently studying TV Miss Pauling. Soldier attempts to ask Medic for help, but Medic ignores him. Soldier attempts to force the issue, but Medic slams the door in Soldier’s face. Soldier then decides that, in order to defeat a Spy, he will have to think like a Spy; he does just that for a moment before noticing Sniper’s van coming up the bridge nearby. Soldier fires a rocket at one of the wheels and causing it to swerve off-course, which causes it to hit RED Pyro playing with their ducks in the middle of the road. Killing Pyro and injuring Hatless Spy.

As Sniper mourns the loss of his home, Soldier reclaims his hat once more; he then attempts to finish off Hatless Spy for good, but the Spy uses a Dead Ringer to survive and backstab Soldier. However, Soldier also turns out to have had a Dead Ringer and shoots Hatless Spy again; this puts the two into a loop of Dead Ringer kills. The Demoman, who was flung free of the car crash moments ago, is disappointed with these shenanigans; he mischievously unplugs a nearby cable. The device he unplugged was actually the machine that renders the current map, causing the Mercs to become trapped in space along with various props, including the dispenser in which Heavy is still trapped.
