Yes, We Have No Bananas
Charlie, a NASA-trained chimp shot into orbit in the early 1960s, accidentally gets thrown beyond the solar system where an advanced alien race mistakes him for a representative of Earth's dominant species. He is given intelligence, the rank of Captain, a ship and a mission -- to defeat the evil Nebula, who seeks to absorb the universe into himself ("Check -- it's an ego thing"). Captain Simian, with some help from the Orbitron (the repository of the advanced alien race's science and wisdom), recruits a crew of monkeys (Gor, Shao Lin, Spydor and Splitzy) from Earth. They seem pretty happy about it all...until Rhesus 2, Nebula's "creation", shows up, firing his Brain-blaster with mindless glee.

Yes, We Still Have No Bananas
Things do not get any better for the Space Monkeys so they take to the air, but their inexperience, and the fact that their ship is designed for humans, results in their initial defeat. It doesn't help when Gor breaks the Orbitron either! Simian sends the others back to earth via a wormhole, but they screw up and get lost in time and space. They return only moments later to rescue Simian from certain death and reveal that they were forced to re-live the '70s! Now, with their monkey-customized ship, operating as an experienced team, under a capable leader...they'll be lucky if they survive the episode!

Ape-lien

Splitzy's Choice
While escaping angry Blethorians (and the only thing to do when confronted with angry Blethorians is escape from them), the ship is damaged, leaking flux, the "glue" that holds the ship together. As the Primate Avenger comes apart, so does the crew: Simian and Shao Lin explore a strange, new planet in search of new flux and must survive an encounter with a humongous Sand Monster; Spydor and Gor have a falling out; and worst of all, the bickering Splitzy and Dr. Splitz find a way to separate into two monkeys. The Space Monkeys better get it together before the ship blows apart!

The Space Monkeys finally find some bananas, or did these bananas find them? The giant alien bananas "eat you up and spit you out." Spydor, Splitzy and Gor are captured and replaced with efficiency-obsessed clones. Simian and Shao Lin narrowly escape and must not only find a way to release the crew and shut down the huge intergalactic "clean-up" corporation that "recruited" them, but there's still all that paperwork!

Repo Ape
Captain Simian receives an old coded message from NASA and takes the Primate Avenger in search of the decoder that was on board his original capsule. They are drawn to a seemingly lifeless metal junkyard planet by a magnetic anomaly, but the planet is really a machine -- Matrix, who wants to "de-construct and assimilate" the monkeys. As Matrix learns from the monkeys, he becomes alive. The crew, with the help of Gormongus, defeats the living machine and escapes the hold of the magnetic anomaly. The message from Earth? We're not telling!

Planet of the Humans
The Space Monkeys land on a planet where humans are primitive and warlike (imagine the chances of that!) and two stranded alien creatures are undergoing a rite of passage. While one of the young aliens, Larnus, befriends the monkeys, his brother, Tronus, joins with the humans to capture them. As the monkeys seem outnumbered, the adult aliens arrive to pass judgment on their young and reveal a world where evolution doesn't quite work the way you might expect.

The Maltese Monkey
Having sustained damage battling a Dunconian Destroyer, the crew lands on the planet Maltese. The Maltesian motto is "trust no one" and with good reason: Gor returns from a mysterious outing with Spydor during which the Orbitron was stolen from them. Worse, the broken Orb is now spouting a binary code that could be disastrous in the wrong hands. So the crew follows the Orbitron's trail through a noirish world of alien gangsters and molls where nothing is what it seems. Not even some monkeys....

What the Space Monkeys need are a few good androids to take over for them in defending the universe. But all Dr. Splitz can do is make a friend for Gor out of twine and paper clips: a cute little orangutan android named Isaac. When the crew goes in search of more advanced machines on Cyber 1, the monkeys discover the planet is run by the former computer, Matrix, who believes he has created life -- a whole civilization of robots. Will the monkeys escape this cybernetic nightmare... and is Isaac more monkey or machine??

Responding to a gravitational disturbance in the Caelin system, the Primate Avenger is shot down and sinks to the bottom of the vast pink ocean covering the planet. But the monkeys don't drown for a very peculiar reason. Now these underwater monkeys must stop the two warring factions on the planet before they destroy their own world. That is, if they can survive a totally wild battle on surfboards, a sea quake and the molten lava racing for the downed Primate Avenger. Cow-a-monkey-bunga, dude!
