Plot – In the suburbs of Seattle, the Henderson family hits a kind of monkey while driving back from a day trip in the woods. The monkey looks like dead, but the family decides to bring it home and call the forest ranger. The following morning, this stinky tiny version of King-Kong wakes up in the house and destroys everything. However, the beast is sensitive, funny and gets along with Little Ernie, who really likes him and calls him Harry. When George Henderson decides that it is time to bring Harry back to the forest, the monkey is absolutely disappointed and causes panic in the city.
