Krypto goes back in time to confront Titano, the Super-Ape, when he discovers that a bone he buried was crushed by Titano the last time the ape was in the present. Krypto plays tricks on Titano which starts a feud. He eventually decides to make peace with the ape by offering him some bananas.

Later, an alien probe tries to catch Krypto. Titano saves the dog from capture, then Krypto tricks Titano into using his Kryptonite vision on the ship in order to turn their indicator lights green indicating danger. The aliens leave Earth, and Krypto returns to the present.
