It starts with a shot of the gate of Kong Studios. We then follow a radio-controlled cart (or Noodle riding a bigwheeler) through the hallways of the building. It leads us past a door to a room where the Gorillaz are performing. A white mist appears among them and Russell passes out. Then we see the floor has turned into the ghost of Del, who rises up and throws the Gorillaz to the ground. Del is outfitted with protective gear including a helmet. Del takes a few steps when from behind him a series of spring loaded guns shoot billiard balls at him, but he diverts them with his glove. A series of inflatable female gorillas appear and start to do cheerleading. 2-D is dodging the balls being shot at him by doing dance moves, but then he is hit by a few balls and knocked out. Murdoc then begins to divert the balls with specially padded (but only at the front) pair of briefs he's wearing, hitting them away with his special purpose. He is successful a dozen of times until a ball ricochets off the padded wall and hits his unprotected buttocks|behind. The ball ricochets and hits Russell in the head, waking him up and making Del disappear. The final scene is a backwards shot of the first one.
