Oscar inherits $5 million and three orangutans after his circus‑owner father dies, but the bequest imposes three conditions: the apes must be bathed twice a week, cannot be given away, and must remain healthy for three years or the money reverts to the Zoological Society. He must juggle the primates, his girlfriend, and the society’s president.
