Sam leaps into the body of a chimpanzee in a college research facility. He quickly learns that the facility's owner is testing a dangerous serum on animals with the aim of boosting their intelligence. Sam must find a way to stop the experiments before any more animals are harmed, but he discovers that one of the lab assistants, who is also a member of a fraternity catering to animal activists, may not share his views on how best to protect the animals. As Sam navigates his new animal body, he must also contend with the harsh realities of life as a lab animal and the danger of being discovered. The episode explores themes of animal rights, scientific ethics, and the complex relationship humans have with other species.
