The Story Begins is the only ending in Breaking the Bank. In this ending, Henry Stickmin attempts to break into the bank and prevails, only to be arrested by the police and placed into prison.

Plot

In the middle of West Mesa desert, a mischievous protagonist, Henry Stickmin, finds himself outside of a Bank. Running short on cash he tries to think of ways he can break in and steal some money. With an armored bank truck on its way to the bank, Stickmin decides to tie himself into a Disguising Bag and falls flat onto ground next to a long dusty road. The drivers of the truck, Winston Davis and Ted McAdams notice the bag and stop to investigate it. Under the impression that it is a normal bank sack, Winston convinces his partner Ted to throw it in the back of the truck to be safe.

Before the truck arrives, one bank guard, Chad Hansen asks his colleague Philly Colin if he ever wonders why there is a bank out in the middle of nowhere to which Philly claims the bank is more of a vault. After this they both go back to guarding while the armored truck arrives. The disguising bag finally gets thrown in the Bank's vault. Henry gets out of the bag, but inadvertently triggers the laser countermeasures and is arrested on the spot.

In the legacy version, there is an end credits sequence with various images showing the aftermath of all the BtB fails. One of them shows Unnamed Construction Worker finding his destroyed construction vehicle used in the Wrecking Ball fail. Another is one where an Unnamed Construction Worker uses a crane to break out Henry when he uses the Teleporter. At the very end of the credits, Dave can be seen throwing Henry in jail.
