In Toronto, 23-year-old Scott Pilgrim is a bass guitarist in Sex Bob-Omb, a floundering garage band. To the disapproval of his friends, he is dating Knives Chau, a high-school student. Scott meets an American Amazon delivery girl, Ramona Flowers, having first seen her in a dream, and loses interest in Knives. When Sex Bob-Omb plays in a battle of the bands
sponsored by record executive G-Man Graves, Scott is attacked by
Ramona's ex-boyfriend Matthew Patel. Scott defeats Patel and learns
that, in order to date Ramona, he must defeat the remaining six evil
exes.
Scott breaks up with Knives, who blames Ramona and swears to win him
back. Scott defeats Ramona's second evil ex, Hollywood actor and
skateboarder Lucas Lee, by tricking him into performing a dangerous
stunt. He defeats her third ex, vegan
Todd Ingram, who is dating Scott's ex-girlfriend, Envy Adams, by
tricking him into drinking dairy. He defeats Ramona's fourth ex, Roxy
Richter, by prodding the spot behind her knee, which Ramona tells him is
her weak point.
Scott becomes upset with Ramona's dating history, and Ramona breaks
up with him. At the next battle of the bands, Sex Bob-Omb defeats
Ramona's fifth and sixth evil exes, twins Kyle and Ken Katayanagi,
earning Scott a 1-up.
Ramona gets back with her seventh evil ex, Gideon, also known as G-Man
Graves, the sponsor of the event. Sex Bob-Omb accepts Gideon's record deal, except for Scott, who leaves the band in protest.
Gideon invites Scott to his venue, the Chaos Theater, where Sex
Bob-Omb is playing. Resolving to win Ramona back, Scott challenges
Gideon to a fight for her affections, earning the "Power of Love" and a
sword. Knives fights Ramona over Scott, and Scott is forced to reveal
that he dated them concurrently. After Gideon kills Scott, Ramona visits
him in limbo and reveals that Gideon has implanted her with a mind control device.
Scott uses his 1-up to restore his life. He makes peace with his
friends and challenges Gideon again, this time for himself. He gains the
"Power of Self-Respect" and disarms Gideon with the sword it grants
him. He apologizes to Ramona and Knives for cheating on them, and Scott
and Knives join forces to defeat Gideon.
Free from Gideon's control, Ramona prepares to leave. Knives accepts
that her relationship with Scott is over. At her encouragement, he
follows Ramona.
