As the episode begins, Bongo is practicing his drumming skills in the garage of their owner's house, dreaming of one day becoming a famous musician. When he hears that a famous bassist named Mr. Groove is coming to town to recruit a new backing band, he knows that this is his big chance to show off his skills.

Determined to make it onto the audition stage, Bongo hatches a plan to convince his friends to go along with his idea. He persuades Lampo, Milady, Pilou, and Meatball to pretend to be his backup dancers, in a bid to impress Mr. Groove with their musicality.
