When Evangeline's parents disappear while studying golden-haired apes in the Ikkinasti Jungle, she and Professor Pikkaflee go after them. They encounter a variety of adversaries, from a wild jungle-hater to deadly spitting spiders, before discovering the Mudds are being held captive by the apes. The pace is uneven, but the story is humorous, as are the illustrations.
