At the heart of creation stands Yggdrasil, the All Tree. It is protected by a race of ape men and women, the Simians who are charged with defending the tree from all foes. The Simians have created a prison for holding the villains who use the mystic archways to gain access to the tree and its surrounding city, a supposedly impregnable prison. When the most ruthless maniac escapes the prison and holds the All Tree hostage, only one Simian can stand against him: the chimpanzee scientist-sorcerer Dr. Gantu.

However, The Locality has spies everywhere and has initiated a plan to drain the worlds of the multiverse to fuel his conquests. Can Dr. Gantu discover the maniac's plans and stop them before all hell breaks loose?
