Return to the Planet of the Apes

After his recent actions and failure to recapture the humans, Urko has been relieved of his duties for three months, and replaced by Colonel Rotok. With Urko gone, Zira and Cornelius decide to risk a trip to the monastic apes living in the mountains, so that they can obtain an ancient book, ‘A Day at the Zoo’, which proves humans once ruled the planet; they plan to show the volume to the Ape Council in the hope that they will pass a law to grant mankind protection. Meanwhile, Urko convinces Rotok to lead a surprise attack on the humans in New Valley, ensuring that they will both be hailed as heroes. Bill and Cornelius decide to use the hot air balloon to reach the High Llama, demonstrating that apes and humans can work together – while flying through the air, they are attacked by the flying monster…
