Darkwing Duck season 1 episode 4, titled "The Apes of Wrath," follows the fearless hero, Darkwing Duck, as he attempts to foil the plans of F.O.W.L. (Fiendish Organization for World Larceny). F.O.W.L. has developed a plant growth formula that causes plants to grow uncontrollably, and they plan to use it to take over the world's food supply. Darkwing, accompanied by his sidekick, Launchpad McQuack, sets out to stop F.O.W.L. and the dangerous formula.

The episode opens with Darkwing and Launchpad investigating a series of abductions at the zoo. They discover that F.O.W.L. has been abducting apes, hoping to use them as test subjects for their formula. Darkwing and Launchpad quickly find themselves in a fight against the agents of F.O.W.L., but they manage to escape with a baby ape in their possession. They take the ape to the home of a scientist, Dr. Bellum, who specializes in working with primates.

As Darkwing and Launchpad work to unravel the mystery of F.O.W.L.'s plan, the baby ape they rescued becomes increasingly agitated. Dr. Bellum realizes that the plant growth formula has somehow affected the infant ape, making it grow at an alarming rate. Soon, the once-small primate becomes a full-grown gorilla, wreaking havoc in the laboratory. In an effort to contain the out-of-control animal, Darkwing and Launchpad are forced to use themselves as bait, hoping to lure the gorilla into a trap.

As they struggle to deal with the massive gorilla, they discover that F.O.W.L. has been watching their every move and is aware of their plan. The agents of F.O.W.L. capture Launchpad and the gorilla and plan to use them to further their evil scheme. Darkwing is forced to mount a daring rescue, facing off against heavily armed F.O.W.L. agents in order to save his friend and the oversized simian.

With the help of Dr. Bellum, Darkwing and Launchpad uncover the location of F.O.W.L.'s hidden laboratory, where they hope to put an end to their plans once and for all. However, they soon find themselves in a race against time, as F.O.W.L. unleashes their plant growth formula on the world's crops. Only Darkwing and Launchpad can stop F.O.W.L. before it is too late.
