After being sucked into a wormhole on his first trip into space, Bops the Astrochimp emerged from the space anomaly a smarter, more evolved chimp. Unfortunately, he also wound up on the opposite side of the galaxy, stranded on a planet in thrall to the evil Overlord Jardu Krush. With help from a local named Max, Bops risks everything to break into the heavily controlled Tiklopis Way Station to meet with a shady character who promises him information about his lost spaceship.
