Synopsis
In the Desert
A large UFO lands in a desert, with a monkey being kicked out of it. The monkey's girlfriend attempts to run out and stay with him, but is held back by a Pigmask. A peddler working for the Pig Army, Fassad, walks up to the monkey, and tells him that he do his bidding, else he might never be able to reunite with his girlfriend, or even end up being killed. Fassad pulls out a small device and presses a button on it, shocking the monkey. He explains that the collar can produce electrical shocks, and can work over very long distances. Fassad also notes that the monkey doesn't have a name yet, and names him "Salsa". He then tells Salsa that the two must cooperate in public, acting as friends, and to never disobey his orders. Fassad commands Salsa to do different dances and a somersault, and notes that people will think of them as a performance duo, and thus get more attention with his plans.
The UFO takes off, and Salsa is left crying on the ground, heartbroken without his girlfriend. Fassad shocks him and tells him to only cry when he says so. He also says that they need to get to a large, white building somewhere in the desert, and joins Salsa's party. The two then set off to travel through the desert. Along the way, there are various enemies and presents in the desert, with a Luxury Banana in one of the boxes. Fassad shouts at Salsa for trying to take the banana for his own, and takes it away from him. When the duo finally reach the white building, there is a Cactus Wolf guarding the front entrance. Fassad demands Salsa to go fight the wolf for him, so that they may continue on with their journey. After the Cactus Wolf is defeated, Fassad and Salsa enter the building and go down an elevator. The elevator then leads to an underground passageway, with a Pork Bean parked in it. Fassad says to ride it through the tunnel, as it would be much faster to ride rather than walk, and also briefly explains how to use it. The two then ride the Pork Bean and go all the way west, climbing up a ladder and emerging from a fake grave in Sunset Cemetery.
Time in Tazmily Village
Fassad tells Salsa that they should stay at the Yado Inn in the village for the night, and head for there. On the way there, Fassad runs into Butch, who is counting the amount of money he received from him earlier. They then accidentally bump into Duster, and Butch tells Duster about the money Fassad gave him. Butch shows Duster that he's going to hide his money in the well, and tells him to not tell anyone of where he hid it. Fassad is then shown to be hiding and listening in on their conversation, and keeps this tidbit in mind. After the coast is clear, Fassad and Salsa head to the inn and get a room there. He gives Jackie and Betsy a large bag of money for the room, despite there being no charge. He and Salsa then head to their room, with Fassad sleeping on the bed, and Salsa on the middle of the floor. While Salsa is fast asleep, Fassad gets up and sneaks out of the inn. Salsa wakes up a moment after this, and follows him outside.
Fassad is shown talking on a cell phone to someone about invading Osohe Castle. He hears of a villager apparently going into the castle, but brushes it off as nothing. After his conversation on the phone, he takes the bag of money from the well, and then spots Salsa listening in on his conversation. Fassad then zaps him a couple times as punishment, and takes him back to the inn. Salsa goes back to sleep on the floor, and has nightmares about his recent misfortunes. In the morning, he is woken up by Fassad shocking him again, saying that he'll have to perform tricks for the villagers today. The duo head outside, and Fassad's performance about happiness begins. Throughout the presentation, Salsa does various tricks, and Fassad foretells of lightning striking every day, urging the villagers to obtain the secret to happiness now while they can. He asks the villagers if anyone would like to obtain this secret, and tells them to raise their hand if interested. He then tells Salsa to get the names of the villagers who want happiness, and heads back to the inn.
When the duo return to the inn, Fassad's phone starts ringing again, and he answers it. He asks about the status of the castle search, and learns of more people loitering about in the castle. Fassad tells them to get rid them, but apparently the Pigmasks at Osohe Castle are too scared to. He then says that he'll be right over and check out the situation as soon as possible, and tells Salsa that the Happy Boxes are hidden in the cemetery, and to deliver them to the four townspeople - Abbot, Abbey, Biff and Isaac. Salsa then heads to the cemetery, and delivers the Happy Boxes to their respective customers. When he goes back to the inn, Fassad zaps him for being "too slow" with the deliveries, and tells him that they must go to Osohe Castle next.
