The episode begins in Bluster Barrelworks, where Donkey Kong sings a song he made up for [[Candy Kong]] ("100 Banana Bunches on the Wall"). Bluster Kong soon enters the factory and commands the ape to leave, but Donkey Kong continues to sing, ignoring him. Bluster becomes angry because of this, so he begins to smash the buttons on the nearby machine's controls. Suddenly, a sign from the machine smashes him in the face, and Bluster is forced into a barrel. The barrel moves down a conveyor belt, where it is taken to be smashed. Just before Bluster and the barrel are destroyed, Donkey Kong bumps the button on the controls while dancing and stops the machine. Bluster Kong is saved, and realizes that Donkey Kong is a "champ among chimps." Bluster pledges that he will always try to protect Donkey Kong from personal injury for as long as he lives. | The episode begins in Bluster Barrelworks, where Donkey Kong sings a song he made up for [[Candy Kong]] ("100 Banana Bunches on the Wall").

Donkey, Diddy, and Funky Kong set up another plan to trick Bluster. Donkey Kong rides in Funky's plane, performing several dangerous stunts. While he flies, the ape begins to wonder where Bluster is, not knowing that he has been captured. He also notices Dixie's pet crab in the plane and begins to talk to it. Eventually, the plane flies out of control, and the ape begins to spiral to the ground. Just before crashing, Cranky's hologram from the [[Crystal Coconut]] appears, and he tells the primate how to control the plane. Donkey Kong follows his advice and safely flies over the island. | Donkey, Diddy, and Funky Kong set up another plan to trick Bluster.

Back at King K. Rool's hideout, the crocodile king interrogates Bluster Kong, wanting to know what he was plotting against him. Bluster has no answer, as he has only been trying to help Donkey Kong. King K. Rool threatens him by telling him that he will be forced to work in his factory if he does not explain his "plans." Bluster thinks of what to do, and then asks for a last request. The ape wishes to sing a song, and begins to sing Donkey Kong's 100 Banana Bunches song to earn more time | Back at King K.

Donkey Kong finishes driving Funky's plane, wondering why Bluster hasn't come to the rescue yet. Cranky's hologram appears again, and the old ape tells Donkey Kong that he has seen a vision of Bluster at King K. Rool's hideout through the Crystal Coconut. The Kongs head out to rescue him, and Donkey Kong uses Funky's plane to get to the hideout. | Donkey Kong finishes driving Funky's plane, wondering why Bluster hasn't come to the rescue yet.

Meanwhile, Bluster | Meanwhile, Bluster continues to sing Donkey Kong's song. After the song is over, the ape decides to sing it again, and the Kremlings join in. King K. Rool, infuriated, commands him to stop singing and walk onto the platform leading to the factory. Just before the Kremling sends the ape to the factory, Donkey and Diddy come to the rescue in Funky's plane. After they park the vehicle, King K. Rool asks where Krusha is. The Kremling hears him, but does not come, only asking him if what he had asked was a rhetorical question. Bluster decides that he truly is in debt to Donkey Kong, but then realizes that the ape is not to happy about it. Just as the ape tells him to get in the plane, King K. Rool sends out dozens of Kremling soldiers to attack. King K. Rool is prepared to send them to his factory to work for the rest of their lives, but is soon bitten by Dixie Kong's crab, who had exited the plane and climbed onto his back. | ||

The Kongs are later seen at Bluster Barrelworks, where Bluster decides that he and Donkey Kong are now even, as his crab diversion had saved their lives. Bluster also announces that he thinks the ape is a hazard to his health, and then walks away. The episode ends with Dixie Kong asking the apes if they have seen her pet crab. The Kongs simply smile at each other, just as Bluster Kong is heard screaming from a bite from the crab. | The Kongs are later seen at Bluster Barrelworks, where Bluster decides that he and Donkey Kong are now even, as his crab diversion had saved their lives.
