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 & 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.

At that time, [[King K. Rool]] is playing a video game on a computer monitor-like device. Just as he is about to beat his high-score, [[General Klump]] appears on the monitor, canceling the king's game. K. Rool becomes greatly enraged and destroys the device as a result, so Klump speaks to him by phone instead. General Klump explains that he has seen the [[Kong]]s heading to the mountain mines searching for buried treasure. King K. Rool thinks this treasure is "a dooms day device capable of destroying the while island." The Kremlings heads out to find this buried treasure, commanding [[Krusha (character)|Krusha]] to take care of the phone they are using to speak to Klump. Just as the crocodile leaves, a silhouette is shown of Krusha jumping on the phone.

Dixie and Candy ride through the mines in a mine cart with the treasure. Dixie asks what King K. Rool was talking about, but Candy simply replies that, by the time he is done talking, the two of them will be the owner of the barrelworks. She and Dixie then begin to sing about the treasure, along with King K. Rool, Krusha, DK, Diddy, Funky, and Bluster behind them. All four teams make the mistake of not putting the treasure inside the cart and because they continue to hold it in their hands, it allows the other teams to swipe it from them. After the song, Dixie and Candy's cart rides to the end of a steep cliff. The Kongs are relived to find that the cart has stopped just before flying off, but then Donkey and Diddy in their mine carts crash into them and push them off, causing the treasure to fall from their hands. This is followed by the cart with Funky and Bluster, and finally, the cart with King K. Rool and Krusha. The treasure ends up falling into the hands of King K. Rool after it is thrown to him by Bluster as he panics. Before the Kremlings get to see what the treasure offers, their cart falls off the cliff.

The group lands on a nearby beach, where King K. Rool opens the barrel that the treasure is placed in. Donkey Kong is unable to defeat the foe before he does so, due to his great hunger. When Krusha removes the top of the container for his boss, King K. Rool reaches in to find a piece of paper saying, "Keep your paws off my treasure," which is signed by Donkey Kong. The group is stunned to hear this, and Donkey Kong admits that he has just remembered that he hid that treasure when he was a young ape. The Kremlings check to see what "treasure" that ape left in the container, only to find out that the treasure was nothing but rotten bananas. After the Kongs and Kremlings learn how long the ape has left those bananas in the barrel, they become disgusted, but they hear the sound of yelling from a turned-over mine cart. They flip it over to find Cranky Kong, trying to relax on his vacation.

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, 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, who don't know about the treasure, 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.
