The episode begins with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong spending a day fishing. Donkey Kong unexpectedly reels in a stage bottle. Donkey Kong is ready to trash the old bottle, when Diddy notices a message inside of it. The young monkey notices that it is for Donkey Kong, so he gives it to the ape to read. The apes reads "''On behalf of the Federation of Future Rulers, you, Donkey Kong, have been elected future ruler of all future rulers. We would like you to report for your five year term in office tomorrow.''" Donkey Kong realizes that they want him to leave [[Kongo Bongo Island]]. [[Cranky Kong]] soon walks up to them, yelling at them to stop goofing around, until the ape gives him the message he has just received. Cranky Kong is excited about his promotion, and decides to hold a banquet for the ape.
