    Where to Watch

Having graduated from Professor Reagan's experiments in "Bedtime for Bonzo," the simian savant becomes a gridiron hero. Maureen O'Sullivan, Charles Drake. Pop: Edmund Gwenn. Betsy: Gigi Perreau. Nancy: Irene Ryan. Gateson: Gene Lockhart. Ronald: Guy Williams. Directed by Frederick de Cordova.

This sequel to the smash hit BEDTIME FOR BONZO has the same simian antics, but Ronald Reagan refused to do this one. Bonzo becomes the pet of Gigi Perreau, daughter of college professor Drake. The chimp passes the entrance exams and then makes the football team. On the eve of the big game a pair of bad guys kidnap Bonzo. He escapes and wins the game in the nick of time. Reagan was smart to have avoided this one.
