Bluster is making a movie. K. Rool decides to get in on the act, but for another reason, to steal the Crystal Coconut. The others think Donkey Kong took the Coconut, and he gets banished (but returns to prove his innocence).

While fishing with Diddy, Donkey Kong finds a bottle with a message in it. It's a note from the ""Federation of Future Rulers"" and it seems Donkey Kong may have to leave the island. So the others have a party for him, remembering some of the times they had together.

Candy wants Donkey Kong to marry her. Donkey Kong feels awkward about the whole thing (as he doesn't want to get married, but doesn't want to upset Candy either).

Bluster, unhappy with Donkey Kong being the future ruler of Kongo Bongo, tells Cranky he wants an election held to decide who should be future ruler. Upon overhearing about it Klump tells K. Rool, who then also enters the election.

After some mishaps (that get everyone angry at him), Donkey Kong feels Kongo Bongo would be better without him. As he's about to leave he hits a tree branch, getting knocked out, and has a dream of what Kongo Bongo might be like without him.
