After Dr. Antonio’s amazing and ludicrous adventures in Trouble with Howlers, he and his capuchin girlfriend Plum have finally found the time for a romantic getaway for two. Waving goodbye to the plethora of their talking animal and human friends, they board the Caribbean Princess for a relaxing, low-key cruise. That plan, however, lasts all of five minutes. Finkelstein and the whites, the bush baby brigade, Bo, Shai, Veloz, and even the Sisters of the Immaculate Wave—complete with their own black-and-white yacht—have all decided that they, too, are in need of a little R&R. But when Antonio is kidnapped aboard the Caribbean Princess and interrogated about anonymous Top Secret files, he and his friends are all put in danger. Chased by utensil-wielding chefs around the world, abducted—and aided—by aliens, pulled across the frozen tundra by a slice of lemmings, and literally hurled onto the front doorstep of an emaciated Santa Claus, Antonio’s new adventures across the high seas are even more hilarious than the last. If he and his friends can only find the secret files responsible for the happiness of the entire world, they might just be able to relax and make it home safely, after all.
