Goodman comes to Marvin with an Indi-Native American chiefetain named Chief Wachu-Pi with a contract to sell his house so the chief can build a casino over it, and in return Marvin would earn 50 million dollars. Now, Marvin has to make sure nothing happens to the contract!

Tropes:

  • The Bet: Between Goodman and Chief Wachu-Pi, real name Greg. The bet is that if Marvin destroys the contract in 10 minutes, Greg owes Goodman 50 million dollars, but if he doesn't Goodman owes Greg 50 million dollars. Greg ultimately wins the bet.
  • Call-Back: The episode calls back to the video Mr. Goodman’s Dog when Goodman uses the events of the episode as an example as what happens whenever he leaves something with Marvin. He even reveals that Prince Charles was just a dog he didn’t want anymore so he left it with Marvin knowing that he would screw it up.
    Mr. Goodman: This one time, I had a dog I didn't want anymore, so instead of taking it to a pound, I brought it here and told Marvin that it was worth 2 million dollars, and that I would give him 50 thousand dollars to watch it for me. And when I came back, they had shaved the dog and put a red nose on it and told me it was a reindeer!
  • Lampshade Hanging: This video acknowledges that everytime Goodman leaves something with Marvin, it either gets destroyed or ruined, which also plays into the bet between Goodman and Greg.
  • The Reveal: Turns out the contract wasn’t real, and the whole scenario was fabricated by Goodman and Chief Wachu-Pi, whose real name is actually Greg, as part of a bet to see if Marvin can keep the contract intact without destroying it.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Much to the surprise of everyone, Marvin ACTUALLY keeps the contract intact in the end and finally gets a happy ending while Goodman is the one who gets the short end of the stick this time around. What’s even better is that after Greg wins the above mentioned bet, he gives Marvin a stack of $10,000.
