Synopsis[]
The Dong King Restaurant opens its millionth location in Sooga Village. While their souvenir "Lucky Cans" are designed to pull in customers, Ring Ring would use them to snag Garu for herself.
Plot[]
It's time for the Dong King Restaurant's grand opening in its new Sooga Island location. Already a huge line has formed while the restaurant spokesperson, Casano, enchants everyone with his good looks. Reporter Su Da is interviewing Fyah about the odd location for such a famous restaurant but are interrupted by Abyo scolding his father for cutting in line, then with Pucca doing the same to tease him. Su Da ends her interview there and moves on to ads by their many sponsors.
Over at the Goh-Rong, their restaurant is completely empty with the chefs and Dada worried about the lack of customers all day.
Pucca and the rest make it into Dong King and while Casano continues to show off for everyone, the customers head to their tables. Each one has a computerize display of Ring Ring telling them to order food in three minutes, wait three minutes for its arrive, eat it in three minutes, then get out. It's a lot of pressure for some of them to choose quick.
Upstairs, Ring Ring's nap is interrupted by all the noise and she calls Fyah in. When he reminds her of the restaurant's grand opening and declares it's filled with everyone from town, she 's delighted at the thought that Garu has come, too.
Most of the customers have begun eating their food by now but Santa, who took too long to order, is ejected from the restaurant. Ring Ring peaks on the dinning room with her camera and seeing Pucca, is not pleased. Even more so when she sees Garu is not there at all, declaring Fyah lied about everyone having come. She threatens to call her father on him and he desperately shows her his second plan, a Lucky Can, which could serve her well.
In the evening, all the customers are leaving Dong King with Lucky Can souvenirs, told that planting the cans in front of their home entrances will bring them good luck. Meanwhile Garu is practicing his skills, not knowing a lovestruck Ring Ring is watching. Once he goes into his house, she plants one of the Lucky Cans right in front of his door. Everyone has wished to make as they bury the cans, but Abyo's second can (which he pilfered) is stolen by the The Sooga Bird. During the night, the cans that were planted grow drills that start digging deeper into the ground.
The next day, everyone walks out of their front doors to go about their days, but fall in to the sudden holes that were left by the cans. All of them end up back in the Dong King restaurant , expected to order more food while Su Da has returned from her commercial break to report on another full house for Dong King. As for Garu, he drops through the hole and ends up in Ring Ring's room, tied to a chair where she is forcing him to watch a movie with her. He breaks loose form his bonds and though the window is too tough to jump through, he gets down to the lower floor by the elevator.
Garu crashes down into the dining room where Su Da tries to interview him; this appears on the TV in the Goh-Rong and prompts Pucca to rush over to see him. As she approaches the restaurant, Ring Ring spies her first and raises a metal wall to block her, though Pucca charges right through it. Ring Ring tries again with several more walls and Pucca, now mad, punches them so hard, she causes an avalanche at a nearby mountain. In the same area, the Sooga Bird is startled by the noise and drops the can it stole from Abyo. The can drills a hole back to the Dong King restaurant and the snow from the avalanche falls into it.
Over at the Dong King Restaurant, all the snow explodes through the building, pushing everyone out and setting them free. Ring Ring's plot has been foiled while Pucca, after chasing Garu through the snow, kisses him herself.
