[[File:E17 Scene 27.png|thumb|150px|Sir Ebrum finally puts a ring on Lady Like's finger.]]
Back at the castle, King Dedede dials up [[Night Mare Enterprises]] to order a new monster to help him find the treasure. N.M.E. sends forth the unsightly [[Honker Stomper]] who, upon arriving through the teleporter, immediately sniffs out Escargoon's hidden stash of rings. After proving himself by uncovering this hoard, King Dedede orders Honker Stomper to head out and collect as much treasure as he can. Back in town, Kirby manages to catch Tokkori, causing him to drop the ring on Gengu's hat. After he gets knocked over by Kirby, Doron appears and snatches the ring again, prompting Chief Bookem to give chase. Honker Stomper then arrives in town and uses his inhale to grab Doron and the ring, then gets away after stealing all the jewelry and artifacts from town. Out in the country, Chef Kawasaki asks the fishermen about their latest catch, but ends up trampled by Honker Stomper and his pursuers, while Sir Ebrum continues to stall for time.

Back at the castle, Honker Stomper returns with his haul, but King Dedede is upset because he can't tell which of the rings is the one he's after. At that moment, Tiff, Tuff, and Kirby arrive and try to get the ring using Kirby's inhale to compete with Honker Stomper's. In the process, Doron emerges from the treasure pile, still holding the ring for dear life. Tuff then interrupts Kirby to throw a full pepper shaker into Honker Stomper's nose, causing him to sneeze everything violently out of the castle, blowing Kirby out with Doron. As the two fall, Kirby notices the ring in Doron's hand, and moves to collect it, threatening to inhale Doron if he doesn't oblige, but the two hit the river and the ring is eaten by the same carp that ate Sir Ebrum's first wedding ring. Back at the castle, King Dedede disposes of Honker Stomper with his hammer for failing him. That night at Kawasaki's, Sir Ebrum admits to Lady Like that he had lost the ring once again, but Lady Like reassures him, saying she doesn't care about it. Chef Kawasaki then comes in with a fresh catch - the carp that swallowed the ring. Kirby jumps on the carp, causing it to cough up the ring, and Sir Ebrum finally places it on Lady Like's finger. From there, after a careless invitation from Chef Kawasaki, Kirby inhales all the food in the restaurant as the episode ends.
