Synopsis
Directed by Andrew V. McLaglen, and starring Maurice Chevalier, Dean Jones and Yvette Mimieux. It tells the story of a young American boy called Henry Dussard, who inherits an olive farm in the south of France. The farm is somewhat ruinous, but the young man is determined to put it into operation, despite advice about the poor state of the farm. After some rather desperate workers, Dussard decides to use the help of four mischievous monkeys to help him collect olives. These intelligent chimpanzees, former members of the Air Force, quickly realize their new responsibilities, however they can not avoid exerting a bad reaction among the townspeople, making the town and its people, a little crazy.
