In the episode, several Gophers acted as minions of [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]] to aid him in his plot to steal all the crops grown by the [[Cave People]] of [[Dome City]]. At night, the Gophers helped Cheatsy by stealing the crops and replacing them with [[Piranha Plant]]s and [[Venus Fire Trap|fire plant]]s, laughing alongside Cheatsy as well. OnceThe following morning, when [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]] discover that the crops beinghave been stolen in the following morning, Cheatsy and the Gophers use the Piranha Plants to attack Mario and his friends. HoweverUnfortunately for Cheatsy and his Gopher minions, Yoshi manages to eat all of the Piranha Plants.

Cheatsy then tells Mario and Luigi that the only way they are gonna get their crops back is by shopping at the [[Koopamart]], before him and the Gophers quickly go back to their underground lair.

Once arriving back at their cave lair, Cheatsy tells the Gophers that they did a splendiferous job stealinghelping steal the crops and that the Cave People will either have to buy their crops back from him or else they will starve. Afterwards, Cheatsy and the Gophers then sing a self praising song called "[[Cheatsy's Life]]," with the Gophers singing backup on how Cheatsy's life is a lot of fun when there is underhanded evil to be done (making it one of the very few pieces of official ''Mario'' media to have Monty Moles being fully voice acted). HoweverUnfortunately for Cheatsy, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi were able to secretly sneek intofollow Cheatsy's back to his lair and proceed to kidnap the Gophers one by one while Cheatsy and the other Gophers were busy singing.

Once Cheatsy finishes singing his song, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi then drop the suspended Gophers onto Cheatsy, ultimately crushing him. Mario and his friends then proceed to bring the crops back to [[Dome City]], before Cheatsy makes a remark on how much he hates those plumbers.
