A young man (Russell) working in the mailroom of a television network rises to the top of the company after he discovers that his girlfriend's chimp is capable of picking hit shows. But what happens when his monkey secret is discovered? A fun family movie from Disney.

A lowly mail boy at a failing network and a chimp befriend one another once the mail clerk realizes the simian has the uncanny ability to pick hit TV shows. Naturally, the mail boy uses the chimp to climb the corporate ladder, doing an even better job than the scurvy top honcho at the network. But when the scam is uncovered, the question remains: What will happen to this odd entrepreneurial couple?
