Go To

Duke Igthorn hires a bounty hunter to capture a Gummi Bear but refuses to pay for his services.

Tropes:

  • Be Careful What You Wish For: After Flint Shrubwood says he'll either leave Duke Igthorn's castle with the promised 20 sovereigns or with Igthorn, the latter is so sure the ogres will be able to protect him he says he'd love to see Shrubwood try. The next scene shows Igthorn as Shrubwood's captive.
  • Blatant Lies: In the end, Igthorn tries to convince the ogres that he easily defeated Flint Shrubwood.
  • Enemy Mine: Cubbi and Igthorn team up to escape Flint Shrubwood.
  • Exact Words: After Flint Shrubwood catches Cubbi and Grammi, he leaves the latter behind because Igthorn only offered a reward for one.
  • Honor Among Thieves: Flint Shrubwood strongly believes in this, so when Igthorn violates this honor by refusing to pay him, Shrubwood locks him up.
  • I Gave My Word: After freeing Grammi, Cubbi returns to save Igthorn as promised.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After Flint Shrubwood captures Cubbi, Igthorn refuses to pay the offered 20 sovereigns. By the time Shrubwood is done retaliating, Igthorn has no Gummies and has lost 500 sovereigns.
  • A Lesson Learned Too Well: Igthorn tells Cubbi he didn't pay Flint Shrubwood as promised because he never keeps his word. When Cubbi (initially) breaks his word about helping Igthorn, Igthorn says he taught Cubbi too well. Subverted as Cubbi eventually changes his mind and keeps his promise.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Flint Shrubwood is a takeoff on Clint Eastwood, down to saying a variation of one of Eastwood's most famous lines.
  • Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: On For a Few Dollars More.
  • Refuse to Rescue the Disliked: Cubbi's initial reaction upon having a chance to abandon Igthorn.
  • Tempting Fate: While on the run from Flint Shrubwood, Igthorn eventually believes there's no way Shrubwood can reach him and Cubbi, Shrubwood instantly proves him wrong.
  • Underestimating Badassery: Duke Igthorn thinks Flint Shrubwood cannot defeat his ogres. The latter proves him wrong.
