Rocky takes a paid-companion job and discovers his charge is Godfrey, a valuable chimp at the center of a publicity stunt that turns into a real kidnapping. When promoter Marty Bunsen is murdered, Rocky is framed while gangster Harry tries to turn the fake ransom scheme into a payoff and pin the killing on him. Police arrive before Harry can finish Rocky, and Godfrey is recovered after one last comic escape.
