Now I made a plot for Ace in the Hole (the How Mel Got His Groove Back remake). Here's the plot.
Plot:
Ace is go-karting and is interrupted by Tippy, who calls him to service his gramophone as he has a recital tonight. Arriving there, he asks that the gramophone be loud so that her audience can hear it. Ace then disarms it but has pieces left over. Tippy meanwhile continues to practice and passively pressure Ace to hurry up.

Ace's first attempt fails as the music is interrupted. It is here that Ace begins to make a pattern: he notices that a piece is missing; he asks some lala for a device that contains said piece; Lala asks him to lend his device intact after the repair because he will use it for something; Ace extracts the piece; and he half repairs the device that was lent to him. This happens with Berry, Pillow and Peanut where he asked for a lever, a piece to turn and something for him to bounce off of a toaster, a cuckoo clock and a trampoline respectively. Jewel rushes over, and Brody says that they may have a problem. Then, The Schwartzman Quartet enter. Unfortunately, they sing a song about a mechanic, which makes Ace join along and continue to sing. Once the quartet leaves, Jewel asks Brody what he thought of the song. Brody is too sad to answer, barely saying "yeah." Jewel asks Brody if he is ok, but Brody says "No, I miss my mechanic."
Tippy meanwhile practices using her swan's squawking as temporary music and as time goes by she begins to get more passive aggressive towards Ace through her body language asking if his gramophone is ready. The girls who lent the things to Ace go to him to complain and Ace calms them down by saying that he will fix everything. Not having any idea what to do, Ace goes to Bea where she gives him a book with instructions to repair everything in less than 5 minutes.
Ember at her station says that it is very hot in Lalaloopsy Land and therefore she will use the hydrant system there to cool both the vegetation and the pets.
Ember watering using a purple fire hydrant near Tippy's house causes her pond to dry up. Therefore they try to put water using small containers and later ask Mittens to bring ice which will melt and fill the lake. Ace in parallel, he continues trying to repair the gramophone with the help of Bea and her pet Monita hers.

He was about to give up until Monita makes a suggestion on how to put a piece. Without having tried the gramophone, Tippy asks her to play music but nothing happens until Monita lowers the lever on the toaster. Ace later tries the gramophone but toast comes out of it and the audience liked the bread offered. It is later revealed that Ace messed up everyone's stuff because they had their functions misplaced, but it doesn't matter because the girls took it easy.
