Research chemist Barnaby Fulton works on a fountain of youth pill for a chemical company. One of the labs chimps gets loose in the laboratory and mixes chemicals, but then pours the mix into the water cooler. When trying one of his own samples, washed down with water from the cooler, Fulton begins to act just like a twenty-year-old and believes his potion is working. Soon his wife and boss are also behaving like children.
A wayward chimpanzee accidentally turns a laboratory water cooler into a fountain of youth. Watching a buttoned-up chemist regress into a frantic, primal primate provides endless comedic chaos.
