Plot[]
Kedamono is seen sitting underneath clotheslines with different types of masks hanging on them. He is seen polishing a mask. Popee walks up to him and views it. It's a gorilla mask. Popee laughs at it, before snatching it from Kedamono, and putting it on. Popee starts to freak out and make gorilla noises. Kedamono watches confused and angrily, as he tries to remove it from Popee. Popee suddenly pushes Kedamono away, and beats on his chest like a gorilla, before breaking the poles holding up the masks. The masks shatter into pieces, as Popee continues to act like a gorilla. Kedamono gets up and throws bananas at Popee. He picks them up and observes them, before Kedamono shoots him with an animal tranquilizer. Popee passes out, and Kedamono tears up as he picks up a mask, and it shatters in his paw. He tries to take the gorilla mask of Popee again, but fails. He suddenly thinks of an idea, and starts painting on a new mask.
Kedamono is now sitting on Popee's arm with a remote control, controlling the new robot mask wearing Popee. Kedamono laughs, proud of himself, without realizing that Popee is headed towards a wall. He starts walking into it, as Kedamono loses his balance, and falls backwards. Popee's hand transforms into a drill, as Kedamono controls him to drill a hole into the wall. The drill gets stuck, and they both start spinning uncontrollably. Kedamono flies off Popee, and lands with the remote, which broke in the impact and started to malfunction. Popee falls, with the drill still lodged in the wall. He gets up, uncontrolled, as his arm goes back to normal. He gets up and stares at Kedamono with glowing eyes, as Kedamono watches in fear. A lazer suddenly shoots from his eyes, towards Kedamono. He gets up quickly before it reaches him. Popee shoots again, missing and shooting a hole through a truck. Kedamono runs, before Popee's hands blast out towards him. Kedamono grabs the tranquilizer, and shoots at one of the hands. The other one shoots past him, and turns back towards him. Kedamono goes to shoot at it, but realizes that he ran out of darts. The hand reaches him, and starts to tickle his stomach. Kedamono laughs, as Popee prepares another lazer. The hand keeps tickling him, making him laugh some more. He loads up the gun with another dart, and aims it at Popee. there is intense silence, as a tumbleweed drifts past. The hand tickles Kedamono again, making him shoot Popee in the face. Popee's lazer shoots past Kedamono's mask and burning the side of it, before passing out. Both the robot mask and gorilla mask shatter.
Kedamono is seen polishing a mask and hanging it up on a clothesline with other masks, while using Popee as a chair to stand on. A chair is painted on the mask Popee is wearing.
