Plot
Stan’s Uncle Jimbo and his war buddy Ned take Stan, Kenny, Kyle and Cartman on a hunting trip in the mountains.
When they arrive in the wilderness (just outside of South Park), Jimbo gives each of the boys a gun, a beer and a pack of smokes and the hunting fun begins.
Jimbo and Ned teach the boys the finer points of hunting shout "Its coming right for us," before shooting at anythingdo not spilling your beer While out hunting the boys realize that one of the nearby mountains is rumbling (Ned and Jimbo seem to ignore this fact till it is too late).
Back in South Park at the South Park Center for Seismic Activity, Stan’s dad, Randy, discovers that the mountain is going to erupt.
Meanwhile on the mountain, Jimbo accidentally sets Ned on fire while the boys are roasting hot dogs and Cartman tells the story of Scuzzlebutt. Scuzzlebutt is a creature that lives on the mountain and kills anyone who dares to climb to the top because it likes the taste of blood and likes to add pieces to it deformed body.
On his hand he has a piece of celery and one of his legs is missing.
In its place is Patrick Duffy.
The boys don’t believe Cartman’s tale, so he decided to dress up as Scuzzlebutt the next morning to scare them.
However, his plan backfires when the boys go searching for Cartman in the morning and come across the fake Scuzzlebutt and start shooting.
Eventually the mistaken identity is resolved. At a lower elevation some of the towns people are organizing a search and rescue mission for the hunting party (who still don’t realize the mountain is a volcano about to erupt) while other South Park residents dig a trench, under the guidance of Randy, to divert the lava away from the town.
Just then, the mountain blows its top and the hunting group tries to flee, but alas is trapped by the trench.
Then, out of nowhere, appears the real Scuzzlebutt who weaves a wicker basket and carries the hunting party to safety.
The lava then flows through the trench and, due to Randy’s miscalculation, floods Denver.
Stan then kills Scuzzlebutt in an attempt to prove he can kill something and make Uncle Jimbo proud.
