Return to the Planet of the Apes

General Urko's gorilla army have attacked the caves in which the astronauts are hiding, and Bill was amongst those captured. General Urko wishes to use the humans in his army's war games, but Bill is singled out by chimpanzee scientists Zira and Cornelius, and their superior, Doctor Zaius, and taken away for study. When Bill is nicknamed ‘Blue Eyes’ by Zira, and when he easily solves their puzzles and tests, Doctor Zauis realises the threat that such an intelligent human will pose to ape society; he leaves for a meeting with the Ape Council, planning to request that all humans be exterminated. Can Bill persuade Zira and Cornelius to help him, or are he and his friends doomed..?
