The film revolves around Minkey, a monkey who is trained to be a spy, and his partner Mike Muggins, a former spy who is now a private investigator. The film begins with Mike Muggins (Chris Potter), a former spy who has been demoted to a private investigator. One day, Mike receives a call from his former boss, who asks him to accompany Minkey, a chimpanzee, to a secret laboratory in China. The laboratory is working on creating a serum that would make people immune to all viruses. However, the laboratory is attacked, and the serum is stolen. Mike and Minkey are the only ones left alive, and they are framed for the theft.
The rest of the film follows Mike and Minkey as they try to clear their names by finding the real culprits behind the theft. They travel to different parts of the world, from China to Canada, and meet different people and animals along the way. They are also chased by two villains, Dr. Farley and his assistant, who are after the serum to use it for their own nefarious purposes.
