Plot[]
In space, Orgon Grindor guides his chariot to Fort Knox, then uses his organ to call Monkey. At Agent Honeydew's apartment, Monkey arrives for dinner and presents Agent Honeydew with a fruitcake. Later, as the two spent time together, Agent Honeydew tells Monkey that she made banana pudding with raisins for dessert. As she goes to get it, Monkey walks over to the record player to touch the record, but Agent Honeydew tells him not to. While Monkey resumed relaxing, the Orgon Grindor's hypnotic melody went into Monkey's ears and he followed it to its source. Agent Honeydew returned from the kitchen ready to surprise Monkey with her banana pudding, but she sees that he is not there and cried to herself.
Meanwhile, the Orgon Grindor vaguely explains to Monkey that he wanted something shiny. Monkey first brings him a picture of himself and Agent Honeydew and then a pile of bananas. Annoyed, the Orgon Grindor takes Monkey to Fort Knox and has him break inside to steal the gold, which Monkey readily does. Back at Agent Honeydew's apartment, she is doing the dishes until the Commander comes in and tells him that Fort Knox is under attack. There, Monkey attacks the guards, then heads into the safe and brings out several stacks of gold bars. When he goes to get the rest, Agent Honeydew is there to stop him, but gets cast aside as Monkey uses his hypnotic powers to move her and get more gold bars.
Agent Honeydew pulls out a ray gun and aims it at the Orgon Grindor, who then sicks Monkey on her. To break Monkey free from his spell, Agent Honeydew fires an energy shot at the Orgon Grindor's calliope. Angered, he slaps her then lifts the gold bars over his head. Monkey comes to his senses after Agent Honeydew calls him, then uses his eye lasers to melt the gold bars and coat the Orgon Grindor in melted gold. Agent Honeydew goes to get the tearful Monkey and they fly back to her apartment for the banana pudding. Monkey and Agent Honeydew both prepare to eat the pudding with the Commander wanting in, but is stopped by the TV screen. They share a laugh as the Commander looks defeated.
