Synopsis
After their mum leaves, Mark and his sister Tammy worry about their overworked dad, a vet. Mark's plan to find him a girlfriend backfires when the charming but wicked Divine and her henchman, Jaundice, enter their lives. These villains are smuggling animals and need a vet's assistance. When Divine kidnaps the children to ensure their dad's cooperation, it's up to Mark's new friend, Arnold Teabag—a clever, smuggled chimp—to save the day. Narrated by both Mark and the family's witty mynah bird, this adventure is filled with humour and excitement.
