Thousands of hardcore Dethklok fans travel to Norway to see Dethklok perform one song, which is revealed to be a coffee jingle endorsing Duncan Hills Coffee. A firework display during the show goes wrong when one firework hits the helicopter, killing the band's chef. The band struggles to come up with a solution to eat, and after a failed shopping attempt they solve the problem by sewing the chef back together, with very limited success: some parts do not quite fit or are backwards.
