Return to the Planet of the Apes

While on an archaeological dig, Cornelius discovers an ancient human book called ‘A Day at the Zoo’. After showing it to Zira, the two apes decide to lock it away for safety, knowing that if Urko learnt of its existence, he would have it destroyed. Cornelius finds that the paper he used to wrap the book in is actually an old blueprint for a hot-air balloon; he uses the plans to construct a balloon, only to realise that the section detailing the steering mechanism is missing. Cornelius turns to Bill and Jeff for help, but when Bill sees the book, he asks that it be shown to the public so that the truth of man’s past is revealed. However, Cornelius wants to hide the scandalous volume on the mountain of Ghar, where no-one will find it. He and Bill set off in the balloon, only to crash-land during a storm…
