All Willard wants for Christmas is a new uniform, as the one he currently wears is the one his father was buried in, but Crock gives him a cheap pair of cuff links and a pie instead, while lavishing expensive gifts on her business partner Chip Oswald and her prized dog Muffin.

Finally fed up with being mistreated, Willard and his best friend, local chicken restaurant owner Rusty, concoct a scheme to kidnap the dog and hold it for a $1,000,000 ransom.

Muffin attacks him, leaving a great deal of destruction and Willard's blood at the scene, and the plan fails when the dog later escapes.

They enlist the services of a creepy morgue employee named Grover Cleaver to find an appropriate corpse and schedule a meeting at night in the park.

Willard goes to Grover and confronts his employer, finding out that the money was actually in the briefcase but was stolen by Chip Oswald, who planned to double-cross them all and make off with his boyfriend.
