Plot

Spoiler warning! Plot details follow.

Stan and Kyle are watching a Buddhist-themed Terrance and Phillip episode until a commercial featuring Sarah McLachlan about babies addicted to crack comes on that are so sad that it sways Kyle to go to Colorado Medical Center to volunteer. He is about to start helping crack babies there, but he finds that Cartman is also volunteering. Kyle follows him and sees that he, Craig, Clyde, and Butters have gathered together to form a new business that takes crack-addicted babies and makes them fight each other for a small crack rock. At first, Kyle is shocked and horrified at what Cartman has done, and that he is going to tell on him. However, after seeing and noting the amount of money Cartman's company has made, Kyle eventually joins in and works with them. While Craig and Clyde struggle to find the musician Slash to get him to play halftime at an upcoming game, the group prepares to cut a deal with EA Sports for a video game based upon their sport.

Cartman offering to buy 'slaves' from UCB

Cartman travels to the University of Colorado Boulder, dressed as a plantation owner, to speak to the dean about his success in "the slave trade" (the school's NCAA basketball team). The dean throws him out. Kyle convinces Cartman to spend the money from the deal on a state-of-the-art orphanage for the crack babies, but EA Sports screws the group out of the entire business and refuses to pay them anything. Plans for the orphanage are scrapped, and the boys' feelings of failure are made even worse with the revelation that Slash is a make-believe character, based on a Dutch legend named 'Vünter Slauche'.

In the final scene, Stan and Kyle come across the orphanage, unexplainably under construction. Inside, they find a top hat and guitar, suggesting that perhaps Slash is real after all and reaffirming their faith in him.
