The video explores the supposed curse on the Chicago Cubs, known as the Curse of the Billy Goat. It begins with the story of William Sianis and his goat, Murphy, who were denied entry to a 1945 World Series game, leading to a curse declaration. The video recounts various incidents believed to be manifestations of the curse, including the 1969 black cat incident, the 1984 Gatorade spill, and the 2003 Bartman incident.
