An Ex-CIA agent hired to train a chimp in covert combat and the martial arts, to be military replacement, breaks out of the top secret lab with his student just as the evil head of research is about to subject the chimp to torturous experimental procedures. They seek refuge with a boy genius and his unsuspecting mother in suburbia, and while the two attempt to expose the dangerous activities of their former employer and his bumbling sidekicks, they manage to stir up the town and give some expert advice to the son on how to play football and win the affections of his dream girl.
