Synopsis

Alanis Morrisette has recorded a hit single with "Stinky Britches," a song that Chef wrote twenty years ago. When he asks for songwriting credit, the record company sues him for copyright infringement. They hire Johnny Cochrane for the suit, and win thanks to his unbeatable "Chewbacca" defense. Now Chef owes them two million dollars. He refuses to raise money for the suit; instead he tries to raise two million to hire Cochrane for the appeal. The boys sell candy to Chef's old rock star buddies and Chef whores himself to the women of South Park. Still a million and a half short the next day, Chef is forced to go to jail. The boys instead try to raise the money by holding a concert in Chef's benefit: "Chef Aid." All the rock stars that bought the candy show up to support Chef, but the concert is sabotaged by the record company president. However, Cochrane is so moved by the turnout for Chef that he takes the case pro bono. Chef wins his case, and Mr. Hat returns to Mr. Garrison, to boot.
