Chief Shnooker receives a call from the Mayor, and he is ordered to solve a case that involves "a monkey on top of a building". When Lieutenant Mumbly enters Shnooker's office, Shnooker tells the dog detective to leave because he is confident that he can solve the case by himself. Shnooker immediately gives the task to Mumbly when the detective finds out that the "monkey" is actually a huge destructive gorilla called Bing Bong that is terrorizing their city.
