The heroic story of Carole Noon who rescued 250 plus chimpanzees discarded by medical research labs, providing them with a second chance of a quality life. Dedication and determination drove Noon to get the help she needed to build a new home for the chimps, who where divided into small families each living on their own Florida island. Even the chimps themselves did what they could to help, including Tarzan who after having spent 40 years in a solitary cell stepped up to the plate to calm down a chaotic new chimp family that was ready for his intervention.
