简介：On the heels of his honeymoon, the indomitable Larry Burton is abruptly yanked into the heart of the jungle by a formidable male baboon, and his fate is widely assumed to be a grim one—vanished, perhaps devoured by the very apes that now surround him. Yet, against all expectations, Larry emerges victorious from this perilous encounter. Through a series of misadventures that could be likened to the panels of a comic strip, he ultimately makes his way back home, ready to reclaim his place as the family's head. Unbeknownst to him, the intervening ten years have reshaped his life dramatically—his wife, Sally, has tied the knot with the reserved and conservative Boyd Flatt, and now she is the proud mother of a bright, vivacious nine-year-old daughter. Larry's return to the fold is met with a storm of disruption and confusion, not least due to his attempts to win over Gabriella, his reluctant former sister-in-law. She harbors a clear aversion to him from before his mysterious disappearance and remains resolutely opposed to any closer relationship with Larry.
