In the summer of 1910, a group of circus monkeys named Henri, Jacques, Antoinette and Dominique escape from a French circus due to a train wreck and end up in the Oklahoma river bottoms, where the main character, Jay Berry Lee lives with his family.

She then explains her own resentment, relating to her brother, as their parents forbid her physical activity due to her condition.

The next morning, Jay arrives at his Grandpa Sam Ferrans' general store looking for a job so he can earn enough money to buy himself a horse.

Jay returns to his grandfather's store and finds a wanted poster of the monkeys, paired with a bounty of $85.

Jay makes a trail of apples leading the monkeys to the family farm, to trap them under a heavy box.

Daisy sets out to follow Jay to the bottoms, when Bayliss Hatcher steps in the bear trap and accidentally shoots his gun into the sky.

Their parents, seeing the monkey's mess, get into an argument with Jay and ground him from working at Sam's store for the next two weeks.

Later, when returning with Rowdy to the bottoms, Jay saves Jacques the monkey from Toby's dangerous non-padded bear trap that would have killed the animal.

It takes place in rural Canada and featured Heritage Park Historical Village 0-6-0 Steam Locomotive #2024 as the Circus train.

Script by Greg Taylor and Jim Strain is cookie-cutter clean and shamelessly telegraphs its points.
