About this movie

When eighty-ear-old Max Sabatini dies, he leaves his Sabatini Circus and his three prized orangutans in the care of his only son, Foster (Tony Danza). Max sends his faithful Czech protoge Lazlo (Danny De Vito) to help care for the apes. In order to inherit his father's five million dollar fortune, Foster must take care of the apes for the next five years. Should Foster fail to fulfill his responsabiliteis to keep the apes from harm, the Sabatine fortune will revert to a zoological society - where the greedy Board of Directors dispatches one of their number, Brandon Stuttgard along with two bumbling hit men, Joey Priondrini and "Bad Habit Rabbitt" to just make sure that just such a misfortune occurs.
