Bonzo, the world's most educated chimpanzee, earns money by correctly answering questions at a fair. When he misses a query put to him by hucksters Lefty Edwards and Wilbur Crane, however, his owner, Dick, does not realize the question was fixed and chastises Bonzo for losing their money. That night, Bonzo sneaks onto a passing truck and ends up in the town of Pawlton, where Pawlton College football coach Ted "Pop" Drew is desperately searching for a quarterback.
