The story follows Wuher, a bartender with a strong dislike for droids, as he heads to his job at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina. He dreams of concocting a beverage that will satisfy the notorious Jabba the Hutt. In a darkened alleyway, he encounters an unusual droid named C2-R4, who pleads with Wuher to rescue him from a group of Jawas. Wuher, filled with animosity, expresses his disdain for the droid and its kind, and storms off in anger.

Later that day at the cantina, Han Solo fatally shoots Greedo. Wuher, possessing an acute sense of smell, realizes that Greedo's remains could be the key ingredient for his unique drink. Recalling the droid he encountered earlier and its specialized grinder, he rushes to locate it. Upon finding the droid, he commands it to accompany him. He then feeds Greedo's body to the droid, incorporating it into his drink. Jabba is delighted with the concoction, leading Wuher to develop a new respect for droids.
