[[File: | ==Plot Synopsis== | ||
{{spoiler}} | |||
The episode begins with [[Donkey Kong]] trying to impress [[Candy Kong]], his love, by lifting two heavy barrels. The ape collapses by all the weight, and Candy sits on one of the barrels, continuing to read a magazine of hers. Candy shows the magazine to [[Diddy]], letting him see the "talented, dreamy, movie star," Leonardo DeAperio. Donkey Kong, jealous, asks what makes him so special, but Diddy replies with "movie star looks, movie star fame, movie star money..." To give Candy more of an interest in him, Donkey Kong tells her that he has appeared in some movies of his own. Suddenly, Bluster Kong exits his factory explains that he has a parcel to send by air mail. Candy inquires if she can do anything while he is gone, but the ape simply replies by screaming in her ear. | |||

Bluster Kong carries the package to [[Funky's Flights]], where he asks [[Funky Kong]] to send the box by air. The Kong refuses, explaining that he has given up flying and has decided to write a screenplay. Bluster realizes that making movies can help him earn a lot of money, so he asks Funky what he can do to produce one. He explains that Bluster must first start out with a script, and asks if he wants to buy his. Bluster declines to purchase it for money, and decides to make his own, with Funky helping him out. | Bluster Kong carries the package to [[Funky's Flights]], where he asks [[Funky Kong]] to send the box by air.

On the deck of [[Cranky's Cabin]], Diddy and Donkey Kong notice Bluster as he finds locations for his movie. Donkey Kong, unaware that Bluster had wanted to make a film, laughs as he learns that the ape is planning to make his own movie, but is stopped by Diddy, who reminds him how Candy would be more impressed by him if he were in this movie. Donkey Kong quickly stops his laughter and decides that he wants to be in the movie. Suddenly, Cranky Kong angrily exits his treehouse, mad at all the noise being made by the Kongs. As soon as he learns about Blusters idea, he walks back into his treehouse, completely uninterested and infuriated. Although Bluster disagrees that Donkey Kong should be in his movie, he tells him that auditions are at noon. When Cranky hears this, he immediately becomes excited, and sings and dances with Donkey and Diddy Kong about being a movie star. | On the deck of [[Cranky's Cabin]], Diddy and Donkey Kong notice Bluster as he finds locations for his movie.

Later that day in the jungle, Diddy meets up with Candy Kong and tells her about the movie. Candy Kong, thrilled, runs off to prepare for the movie auditions, and Diddy continues his walk. Behind the two Kongs in the bushes are [[General Klump]] and [[Krusha]], who spy on them. They are not quite sure what the movie means to them, so they report their finding to King K. Rool immediately. When they reach King K. Rool's lair, the Kremlings tell their king about Bluster's movie. King K. Rool thinks up a quick plan and heads to the auditions. | Later that day in the jungle, Diddy meets up with Candy Kong and tells her about the movie.

The next day, Bluster begins his auditions, which he is displeased by. Klump, Krusha, Donkey Kong, and other Kongs of the island try out, but do not do well. Donkey Kong, desperate to be in the film, tries to show off his skill by lifting two barrels again, but, as before, collapses.

Bluster than announces to the ape that there is one part left that he has to master to be in the movie. Donkey Kong thanks Bluster about giving him another chance, saying that he won't regret it. | ||

Candy thinks it is Leonardo | Later, Donkey Kong rushes to Candy Kong to tell her who is going to be the star in Bluster's movie. Candy thinks it is Leonardo DeAperio, but Donkey Kong replies with "nope." She then guesses the islanders of [[Kongo Bongo]], all except Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong, feeling a little less confident, tells her that ''he'' is going to be in the movie - as the villain. This impresses Candy, as she believes it takes real acting skills to be the villain. However, Donkey Kong soon desperately asks her if she can teach him how to act, as he can not act very well at all. Candy suggests that he try method acting. Before the ape leaves, he asks her what that is. She explains to he that if he is the bad guy, he should think and talk like the bad guy. Donkey Kong takes the tip after singing a song with Candy. | ||
Meanwhile, Bluster Kong films King K. Rool. Bluster tells the crocodile to pretend he wants Candy Kong, the movie's damsel-in-distress, more than anything. However, K. Rool refuses to do so, as he does not want Candy at all. Instead, Bluster advises him to pretend she is something he really does want. King K. Rool knows that he wants the Crystal Coconut more than anything, and asks Bluster if he can have a few moments to "find his character." Bluster allows him to do so, and K. Rool runs off. | Meanwhile, Bluster Kong films King K. Rool. Bluster tells the crocodile to pretend he wants Candy Kong, the movie's damsel-in-distress, more than anything. However, K.

Diddy takes Donkey Kong up to the Treehouse, where he films the ape as he pretends to steal the Crystal Coconut. Donkey Kong becomes hungry for [[banana]]s, so he drags Diddy Kong away from the treehouse to get some, leaving the camera on. As the camera views the entrance to Cranky's Treehouse, King K. Rool, General Klump, and Krusha sneak in the building. | Diddy takes Donkey Kong up to the Treehouse, where he films the ape as he pretends to steal the Crystal Coconut.

Later, Bluster, Donkey, and Diddy Kong head back up to the deck of the Treehouse to film the movie. Donkey Kong pretends that he is going to steal the coconut for his acting part. After he walks into the Treehouse, he hurries out to announce that the coconut is gone. Bluster thinks that he is simply acting it out, but all of the islanders soon enter the Treehouse together to find that it really is missing. King K. Rool and his minions convince the others that Donkey Kong stole it, saying that the ape had said he was the baddest on the island. The ape tries to explain to them that he was only acting, but Cranky Kong cannot believe him and banishes him to the [[White Mountains]]. With nobody believing him, the Kong heads off to the mountains, where he meets [[Eddie the Mean Old Yeti]]. Eddie helps him realize that he needs to show everyone, including Candy, who he really is. | Later, Bluster, Donkey, and Diddy Kong head back up to the deck of the Treehouse to film the movie.

Donkey Kong runs to Bluster's factory to prove his innocence, but nobody is around. He notices the ape's camera in one of the rooms, and curiously looks for his scenes on it. The Kong views the recording where he had pretended to steal the Crystal Coconut, but then took Diddy to get some bananas. While watching it, he notices the three Kremlings creeping into the Treehouse and stealing the coconut. He tries to use the film to prove his innocence, but it breaks after the recording is over. However, Donkey Kong quickly thinks up another plan and heads to Funky's Flights. | Donkey Kong runs to Bluster's factory to prove his innocence, but nobody is around.

Funky replies by throwing his typewriter away. Donkey Kong, pretending to be Bluster Kong, soon finds the typewriter and pretends that he is going to keep it if he doesn't want it. Funky Kong allows him to do so, announcing that it involves too much rewriting that he cannot keep track of. After Funky leaves, Donkey Kong, still dressed as Bluster, commands Diddy to round up the cast for the final scene. Diddy falls for the trick, even though he finds him to be really mean. When everyone is gone, Donkey Kong quickly types up his own scene for the movie. | ||
Diddy rounds up the actors in King K. Rool's lair, where the group wonders where Bluster Kong is. Donkey Kong in his Bluster disguise soon enters, and he tells them to perform his new scene. As Donkey Kong films the new scene, Candy, acting, tells King K. Rool to open the vault behind him if he really loves her. King K. Rool goes with the script and opens it, revealing the stolen Crystal Coconut by accident. Cranky Kong is stunned to find the object in the vault, but before anyone can catch the Kremlings, they evacuate the area. Donkey Kong dashes over to a weight supporting two barrels and lifts it, throwing it at the crocodiles. The weights hit them, and the coconut slips out of K. Rool's hands, with Donkey Kong catching it. After the rescue of the item, the Kongs realize that they owe the ape an apology. Allowing Donkey Kong back into the community, the Kongs continue to roll the film, with Candy standing in front of the Camera. Donkey Kong kisses Candy and then bows to end his scene. | Diddy rounds up the actors in King K. Rool's lair, where the group wonders where Bluster Kong is.
