Struggling slacker Foster Sabatini is the only member of his circus family who left the life, greatly disappointing his wealthy father Max. When Max dies, Foster and his sisters (who all hate Foster) are shocked to hear that Max left his entire estate to Foster, but only on the condition that Foster must care for his father's beloved trio of orangutans. Along with the orangutans, Foster also inherits the services of Lazlo, Max's manservant & protégé. The arrival of the orangutans and Lazlo turn Foster's life upside-down, all while he attempts to win back his disgruntled girlfriend Cynthia and impress her high-society mother Fiona.
Things are further complicated by a trio of bungling assassins hired by the local zoological society, which will inherit both the money and the orangutans if any of the apes die. Once aware of the danger to the apes, Foster and his friends must save the newly accepted primates from the assassins.
