Kom, a rebellious teenage simian, falls from his Tree-Top Town down into the jungle, ignoring the local preacher's warnings that "Everything up here is good, and everything down there is bad!".

The unconscious Kom is found by the King of the Laanko monkeys, who live in a more modern environment.

All the while the resident Evil Chancellor is plotting to poison the princess and usurp the throne.
