Plot[]
In the city, several Global Security members are armed with tanks while one of them watches as Meteor closes in on the atmosphere. Suddenly, Meteor stops moving, grows two arms and legs, then starts kicking, chopping, and smashing buildings. Under the Commander's orders, the Global Security tanks fire bullets and missiles at Meteor, who doesn't feel anything. Agent Honeydew then summons for Monkey, who flies in and stops Meteor from stomping on him. Monkey then splits open Meteor's surface using his laser eyes, then punches Meteor's stomach, causing him to run out of gas and faint.
Monkey then takes Agent Honeydew to the Ice Cream Boat for a banana split. Meanwhile, Peltra, along with her henchman Tanner and Skinner, watch Monkey on a screen. She becomes fixated on wanting to skin Monkey for his fur and make apparel out of it. Tanner and Skinner both agree to go get Monkey for Peltra and they speed off towards Earth in their spaceship.
At the Ice Cream Boat, the bartender serves Agent Honeydew and Monkey their root beer banana split float, and as they were about to dig in, Tanner and Skinner burst into the Ice Cream Boat and fire their ray guns. Agent Honeydew and Monkey both scramble about the parlor getting the civilians to safety. When Agent Honeydew reaches for her weapon, Peltra stomps on her hand. Monkey uses his laser eyes on Tanner and Skinner's guns, heating them up and making Tanner and Skinner drop them. Before Monkey could hit them, Tanner uses his rope to snare him, though Monkey counters by jerking Tanner towards his fist.
Skinner then fires a bear trap from his gadget at Monkey, who raises Tanner and causes the bear trap to clamp him. With Tanner and Skinner defeated, Peltra holds Agent Honeydew hostage with a disintegrator gun aimed at her head. With no choice, Monkey surrenders himself to her, with Tanner bagging him.
On the spaceship, Peltra prepares to skin Monkey of his fur. Agent Honeydew looks around and sees three buckets of paint then gets an idea. She frees herself from her restraints, runs over the pink bucket of paint, and splashes it onto Monkey, dying his fur pink. Angered, Peltra attacks Agent Honeydew while Monkey breaks free from his restraints and attacks both Tanner and Skinner. Agent Honeydew then skins the cat fur off Peltra, kicks her in her stomach, then Monkey rolls the spaceship's flooring onto her. As Monkey reunites with Agent Honeydew, she apologizes for dumping paint on him, which he doesn't mind.
Later, in Dexter's laboratory, Monkey is shaving his fur off and Dexter was about to begin a test on him. He immediately starts writing on his clipboard as Monkey began to shave his tail.

- The episode's antagonists seem to be a parody of Cruella De Vil and her accomplices Jasper and Horace in Disney's 101 Dalmatians.
- Agent Honeydew's line "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one," is taken from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Notes[]
- This is the last Dial M for Monkey cartoon as well as the only one made for the second season of Dexter's Laboratory.
- This is also the second of only two Monkey episodes where Dexter appears outside of the segment intro, following "Magmanamus".
- This is the first time where the Commander is voiced by Earl Boen instead of Robert Ridgely, who died nine months before the episode's airing.
