Plot
Spirit meditates inside his temple, when the sun's glare gets in his eyes and causes him to lose focus. He notices the glare is reflecting off of something in one of his cupboards. He opens it to find the Cursed Idol, which he quickly assumes is sacred. He brings the idol outside, where he makes a shrine for it and kneels in worship of it.

A hot and bothered Frostbite walks by, baffled at what Spirit is doing. Spirit talks about the Idol's divine powers but Frostbite only wants to cool off. Up in the distance, Cro-Marmot's ice cream truck crashes into a tree. Frostbite excitedly jumps into the pile of ice cream cones and feels a lot better. Nutty's attention is also drawn to the pile, which Spirit believes was done by the Idol. So Nutty starts praising it too.

Soon an entire crowd gathers to meet the Idol. Jerky and Gloomy doubt that the Idol is sacred in any way. Gloomy walks up to the shrine and asks for an end to his misery. Spirit tells him the Idol will grant his wish. Jerky is the next to walk up and is told to pay a fee. He tries to persuade everyone that the Idol is just a fraud, which does not fly smoothly with Spirit at all. He warns Jerky to apologize or risk punishment. Jerky walks off laughing at that statement.

Frostbite, now insane from a brain freeze, pushes Cro-Marmot out of the ice cream truck and drives the vehicle amok. Gloomy smashes through the wind shied while Jerky runs for his life. He tosses the Idol at the truck, causing it flip and crash once more. This time it explodes, killing everyone except Spirit and Jerky, until the latter is pierced in the head with an ice cream cone.

Spirit picks up the cone that killed Jerky and thinks of building a shrine for it. Meanwhile, Gloomy is now encased in ice. He makes a peaceful smile before being completely frozen, having had his wish granted by the Idol.

Deaths

 * 1) Frostbite and the crowd are killed in the truck's explosion.
 * 2) Jerky is impaled by an ice cream cone.
 * 3) Gloomy freezes solid (debatable, considering Cro-Marmot).

Trivia

 * As usual, the Idol has no introduction despite its role.
 * As Gloomy freezes in the ice, the screen becomes blue instead of black.
