[[Donkey Kong Jr.]] and [[Bones | [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] and [[Bones (character)|Bones]] head to a mansion amidst {{wp|dry lightning}}. Once they arrive, Bones's cousin [[Lucy Belle]] greets them. She exclaims that she might inherit the mansion, but that two figures might be trying to stalk her. Just as Donkey Kong Jr. attempts to reassure her, one of the figures captures her. Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones give chase, only to be hindered by the other suspicious figure. | ||
The figures successfully escape with Lucy Belle, and Bones grieves over her losing the mansion. However, Donkey Kong Jr. comes up with a plan, and puts it into action by disguising Bones as Lucy Belle. "Lucy Belle" is then escorted by Donkey Kong Jr. to the meeting regarding the mansion inheritance will by [[List of implied characters#Colonel Hubert Jefferson|Colonel Hubert Jefferson]]. [[Mr. Bancroft and Hugo|Mr. Bancroft]] then reads the will, which states that Lucy Belle can only inherit the mansion if she solves a certain puzzle by midnight. Donkey Kong Jr. deduces that the puzzle is, in fact, a {{wp|rebus}}. However, before Bones can assess the situation regarding the rebus, one of the figures, apparently having bought Bones's Lucy Belle disguise, captures him; Donkey Kong Jr. gives chase. | The figures successfully escape with Lucy Belle, and Bones grieves over her losing the mansion.

Swinging on a clothesline to perch on a nearby tree while watching the figure, Donkey Kong Jr. unleashes a "Jungle Judo", sawing off tree logs to distract the figure. He manages to drop Bones, but when Donkey Kong Jr. tries to catch up with the figure, Bones accidentally lands on Donkey Kong Jr., causing the figure to escape again. The duo does, however, find where Lucy Belle is being held.

The duo does, however, find where Lucy Belle is being held. Donkey Kong Jr., in reference to ''{{wp|The Three Little Pigs}}'', uses his breath to knock the door down. He then frees Lucy Belle while Bones assesses the situation to her regarding the rebus. | ||
While the real Lucy Belle begins to work on the rebus, Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones, still in his Lucy Belle disguise, work on a plan to draw in the figures. Just then, the figures arrive to capture "Lucy Belle" once and for all. Bones knocks down a table and lures them into orbiting it, while Donkey Kong Jr. sends out some apples to draw them back into the table. Donkey Kong Jr. then throws dough on them to "bake a pie out of those two bad apples". However, Bones accidentally falls out of the room, and as Donkey Kong Jr. tries to help him, he accidentally allows the figures to escape, and some dough to fall on him. The figures then throw Donkey Kong Jr. into a nearby laundry chute so that they can ''really'' capture "Lucy Belle" once and for all. | While the real Lucy Belle begins to work on the rebus, Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones, still in his Lucy Belle disguise, work on a plan to draw in the figures.

Meanwhile, Donkey Kong Jr. manages to use two metal coils as springs to propel himself back to Bones and Lucy Belle, snatching the stolen rebus piece out of one of the figures' hands. He then unleashes "Monkey Muscle!", then grabs the helmets of two suits of armor, and swings on a chandelier to place the helmets onto the figures' heads, blinding them and knocking them out. Donkey Kong Jr. then tears off their disguises, revealing them to be Mr. Bancroft and Hugo. Bones then removes the will from Mr. Bancroft's trenchcoat pocket, revealing that if the rebus is not solved by midnight, Mr. Bancroft is given the mansion instead. With the little time she has, Lucy Belle resolves to solve the rebus. | Meanwhile, Donkey Kong Jr. manages to use two metal coils as springs to propel himself back to Bones and Lucy Belle, snatching the stolen rebus piece out of one of the figures' hands.

Just then, the nearby clock chimes to indicate midnight, and the protagonists celebrate. Lucy Belle admits that it was actually all thanks to Donkey Kong Jr. and "cousin Lucy Bones" for allowing her to solve the puzzle, as the three of them laugh together. | ||
