Three young scientists explore a post-apocalyptic 25th century, traveling in a high-tech RV called Ark II to study the environment and aid those in distress.

In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by pollution and nuclear war, a team of scientists dispatches a group of young people and an intelligent chimpanzee to locate and rescue remaining human survivors, with the goal of rebuilding society. Along the journey, they impart valuable life lessons to those they encounter.
