A bearded man with a halo stands behind a lectern labeled "ST. PETER" at the pearly gates, holding out both closed fists. He says, "OKAY! PICK A HAND - RIGHT OR LEFT?!" A red-haired man in a yellow shirt faces him. A caption below reads: "After betting on the right hand it was revealed to me that gambling is a mortal sin." Votey: the red-haired man, now apparently in hell, asks a horned devil-like figure shrouded in black, "WHY'RE YOU HERE?" The devil replies, "ENTRAPMENT." — implying St. Peter tricked the man into gambling so both ended up damned.
