The episode begins with [[Cranky Kong]] relaxing on the beach on his week-end vacation. While the ape tries to enjoy himself, several bees begin to pester him.  
The episode begins with [[Cranky Kong]] relaxing on the beach on his weekend vacation. While the ape tries to enjoy himself, several bees begin to pester him.  


Meanwhile, Donkey and Diddy Kong eat and talk at the banana plantation. The two discuss how Cranky is enjoying his vacation. As Diddy Kong wonders what they are going to do today, the Kongs spot Funky flying on top of his plane. This makes Donkey Kong excited, and he jumps up and down, not noticing the banana peel on the ground. The ape accidentally slips on the peel and slides to the ground, landing on a strange bottle. Inside the bottle, the Kongs find a map leading to an X. Diddy explains that the X stands for treasure, but Donkey Kong replies by saying, "There's no X in treasure, Diddy." This angers Diddy, who begins to turn his face red and stomp on his hat. He angrily screams that it is a treasure map showing that X marks the spot. The Kongs excitedly leave the plantation to find the treasure. [[Bluster Kong]] hears them as he looks for a lost coin and decides to find the treasure to become richer.

Bluster heads near the entrance of [[Bluster Barrelworks]], where he is ready to find treasure in his helicopter. [[Candy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] notice him in the copter and ask where DK is. Bluster tries not to tell them that he is on a treasure hunt, but accidentally gives it away. Candy becomes angry that Donkey Kong is standing her up for a treasure hunt, but Dixie reminds her about the treasure. The two quickly jump into Bluster's helicopter to find the treasure, giving him no choice but to fly them.

King K. Rool, tired from the long, terrible day he has just experienced, decides to consume Cranky's banana soda, not knowing that the bees are in there, which the old ape doesn't mind at all. As he drinks it, the bees start frantically stinging him inside his mouth. King K. Rool immediately runs away, with Krusha following him. Cranky also decides to leave, having had it with all the individuals intruding on his vacation, and wanting to get home. Donkey and Candy then realize that they do not need treasure or Bluster's barrelworks factory, and only each other. Diddy and Dixie soon leave to go home with Cranky, and, under a turned-over mine cart, Funky and Bluster can be heard. Funky thinks that they have to wait until someone tells them it's okay to come out and suggests that they get to know each other while they are stuck under the cart, which Bluster refuses to do in his panic.
