Plot Synopsis

In this episode, Chef discovers that Alanis Morissette's (fictional) hit song "Stinky Britches" is a song that he wrote many years ago, before abandoning his musical aspirations. Chef contacts a "major record company" executive, seeking only to have his name credited as the composer of "Stinky Britches." Chef's claim is substantiated by a twenty-year-old recording of Chef performing the song. The record company refuses, and furthermore hires Johnnie Cochran, who files a lawsuit against Chef for harassment. Cochran employs the Chewbacca defense, resulting in a win for the record company and damages to be paid by the defense. Chef now has 24 hours to come up with the money or face four years of incarceration. However, instead of allowing all his stuff to taken by the greedy record company executive, Chef decides to raise all the money by sleeping with all the women in town, but instead of paying the executive, he will pay Johnnie Cochran the money so he can sue the record company. Jerome Chef McElroy was a recurring character on the Comedy Central series South Park. ... Alanis redirects here. ...

Meanwhile, Mr. Garrison witnesses many strange attempts on Mr. Twig's life; he finds him boiling in a pot of water, and later snapped in half. The evidence begins to point to Mr. Hat as the culprit, culminating in a showdown between Garrison and Mr. Hat which lands the former in jail. Mr. ...

The boys try to help Chef by rounding up various musicians, whose careers have been boosted by Chef's advice, to hold a benefit concert. Unfortunately, the record company executive sabotages the concert, but the outpouring of support for Chef touches Johnnie Cochran, whose heart "grew three sizes that day" (taken from Dr. Seuss's book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!). Cochran switches sides for free, successfully defending Chef, free of charge, in a new trial (ironically, using the Chewbacca Defense again) and getting his name put on the album. Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hat eventually make up their differences and get back together. A benefit concert is a concert featuring musicians, comedians, or other performers that is held for a charitable purpose, often directed at a specific and immediate humanitarian crisis. ...
