The man in the yellow hat and his pet monkey decide to go to an amusement park for the day, which would never work in today's world because animals would not be allowed to ride anything. They enter the park and right away the monkey George gets into trouble because he hands tickets to people who have not paid to get into the park. His owner in the yellow hat gets mad and yells at him. There is also a good side of the monkey when he retrieves a woman's purse when it fell out during a ride.
