Plot

King Julien begins a dance party at the closing time of the zoo that extends well into the night. Unable to get any sleep and also unable to wake his comrades, he goes on to handle the situation himself. He steals the batteries from Julien's boom-box in order to make it stop. In a fight to get the batteries back, Julien knocks both him and Skipper into the habitat of an angry kangaroo named Joey. Skipper and Julien end up in a tree and must team up to get out of the pen. King Julien's antics make every attempt at getting out fail. Julien eventually feels guilt and saves Skipper by sacrificing one of his batteries. Skipper repays the favor by giving Julien batteries from his walkie talkie. Julien continues his dance party, much to the dismay of his fellow lemurs. Meanwhile, Skipper, returning to headquarters, receives a pair of earmuffs from Rico and gets a much needed sleep.

Foul Up's, Bloops, and Blunders

• Continuity Error: The penguins first appear in this order when sleeping (from top to bottom) Kowalski, Private, Rico, and then Skipper. When Skipper orders the team on their feet, Rico's and Private's places are switched, but when Skipper finally gets back to HQ after the night, Private was once again in the middle and Rico was on the bottom.
