Plot[]
The story begins with a cruise ship, owned by the wealthy Catnip, along with everything on the ship, setting out to sea. Captain Sam was in control of the ship with his first mate, Chip, as his right flipper assistant. Hello Kitty was handing over umbrellas to the passengers to prepare for the upcoming storm. As the storm rolls in, the sky clouds up, rain pours down, lightning bolts strike, and the wind blows hard, sending massive waves that rock the ship sideways. She tells the captain about the worried passengers, as he tells them that "as long as he's at the wheel, there's nothing to fear," so she goes to tell them. Chip slides in, telling him that he finished swabbing the kitchen, then tells him that the supplies have been washed overboard, and so Sam is forced to make an unscheduled stop, on an unknown island.
Catnip questions him about the stop, as Sam tells the passengers not to panic for he shall take care of the situation. So he, Kitty, Chip and Catnip set out for the island in search of supplies. They come across a gate where poodles were chanting, "Kong, Kong, Kong," with Kitty curious to know what it means. Sam spots food and before they could grab it, they get caught in a net! Then, a loud banging is coming from behind the gate, and Kitty soon finds out what "Kong" really means, as out the gate comes the enormous Kong. He grabs them all and is about to eat them. He rejects all, but Hello Kitty, of whom he falls for. He runs off with her, so everyone goes after her, as Catnip has the idea of making big bucks out of him by taking him to New York City and put him on Broadway. Kong swings along with Kitty, as he makes it past a tree, a python, and a dinosaur. Kong prepares to fight the angered dinosaur, but Kitty thinks that violence doesn't solve it and gives papaya to calm the dinosaur. Kong takes Kitty again and swings for home, as Sam, Chip and Catnip swing along after them. Meanwhile, Kitty distracts Kong by dancing along as she starts climbing down the vine, just as the rescue party swings for her. Catnip still wants the beast, but Sam tells her to forget it as they walk back to the ship.
They all make it back to the ship safely, as Chip begins to hoist the anchor back up. Catnip demands him to lower the anchor back down because she doesn't want to leave without her Kong. Speaking of, Kong is seen riding a pterodactyl going back for Kitty. Catnip sees the perfect opportunity to lure him in, and as he prepares for landing, the pterodactyl gets caught in the band and Kong falls into the boat. Kitty tells her that she can't bring Kong with them, but Catnip doesn't care as she says that he belongs to her now.
The ship arrives in New York City, where everyone is coming to Catison Square Garden where Catnip presents the eighth wonder of the world, Kong. Kitty sees the poor beast in distress as she tries to tell Catnip about this, but Catnip still doesn't care as she gets her off the stage. Kong sees this and tries to go help, and as paparazzi take photos of him, he manages to break free! Kitty tries to calm him down, but grabs her again and bursts out of the theater. NYPD are seen responding to the chaos as Kong attempts to run from them using two taxis as roller skates and rolling across the Manhattan streets. Police chatter reads that they are pursuing through Fifth Avenue, as Catnip takes a police car and follows them (for it's her Avenue). Captain Sam and Chip fly an airplane to get an aerial view of where they are until Chip spots them. Catnip gives chase as she weaves through heavy traffic, then police chatter reads that they are approaching the Empire State Building, and she heads there (for it's her building). Police vehicles are at the scene where Kong climbs up to the top of the building. Once at the top, Sam and Chip fly around him to try and save Kitty has Kong tries to defend. Kitty then tells him that New York is not safe and that he must go home, saddening Kong as he will miss her. He calls for his pterodactyl as Kitty gives him a goodbye kiss, saying the she will miss him too as he hops on the pterodactyl and heads home and waves goodbye. Hello Kitty hops onto Captain Sam's plane safely, and the story ends with the actors taking their bow.
