Complete story — includes the ending

Rock promoter Marty Slash ( Lee Arenberg ) plans to run off with all of the donation money that has been raised and accumulated from a series of "Save the Amazon rainforest " charity benefit concerts, but things unexpectedly become complicated when it turns out that his hearing problems were nothing more than his conscience (voiced by Sam Kinison ) trying to get through to him. To make matters worse, his greedy banker ( Katey Sagal ) soon blackmails him for half of the money, while his conscience is trying to get him to do the right thing. This episode was unique in that the ending was revealed beforehand and the story that led up to it told in flashback. Iggy Pop makes a cameo appearance as himself.
