A group of friends set up a candy store in their house to try and pay off a debt to an "alien mob." They initially struggle to attract customers, but eventually, a wealthy individual, who claims to be Batman, arrives and purchases a large amount of candy using Bitcoin. Another customer also buys the remaining 300 pounds of candy, offering to trade four gaming consoles (Xbox One and PS4) worth around $3,000. The friends are thrilled to have sold all the candy and made a significant profit. However, it is later revealed that they may have used a stolen credit card to buy the candy in the first place.
