It s all about the monkeys.
More monkeys equals more funny.
Learning he has inherited a French olive farm from a deceased uncle, American Henry Dussard travels out to the small Gallic village to see it. Father Sylvain, the local priest, warns Henry of the costliness of olive farming, advising him either to sell or to raise a large family to help out. But American ingenuity is not so easily defeated. Henry trains a quartet of chimps to harvest the olives for him, enlisting local beauty Maria Riserau to help. Spurred by a real estate developer who hopes to buy Henry s farm, the citizens protest Henry s monkey methods.
