Plot[edit]
Professor Frink has been running an experiment on three chimps, which he injected with his Primate Intelligence Enhancer. He observes his chimps stacking chairs and thinks it's part of a ritual. However, they escape through a skylight which he had left open instead. Later, Bart and Milhouse go to Bart's treehouse, where they find the chimps watching Downton Abbey. They are surprised to find chimps there and decide to chase them off. When they grab the lids from the metal bins to make noise with, they find Homer is home early. Homer mistakes "monkeys" for The Monkees, but then leaves Bart and Milhouse when he finds out it's normal monkeys. The kids go back to the treehouse and start making noise, only for the chimps to turn a hosepipe on them. They realize that they're not dealing with average monkeys.
Bart and Milhouse grab a crate of bananas to lure the monkeys out and catch them in a net. Instead, the chimps hook the crate and bring it up to the treehouse before flinging the banana peels at the kids. They decide to go to Lisa for help, who messages Professor Frink because she read on his blog that he was experimenting with chimpanzees. Soon, Frink shows up but tells them that there's nothing he can do to help them because it's now up to the chimps to find their place in the world. Frink then flies off in a flying car and Bart and Milhouse decide to resort to senseless violence to take back the treehouse.
Nelson shows up, having a feeling that he was needed. The three kids then climb into the treehouse and Nelson attempts to fight one of the chimps, only to be attacked back. As Nelson is unconscious, the monkeys speak to Bart and Milhouse. They explain that they want to observe humans in their natural habitat as it makes them feel superior, which is why they took up residence in the treehouse. Bart tells the chimps that he knows a better place for them and takes them to Moe's Tavern. Moe initially threatens the chimps, thinking they're freeloaders, but then the chimps reveal they have money on them. Moe then kicks out Homer, Lenny, and Carl, while Homer complains about natural selection.
