We have smoked Malrobo!


An airplane drops a shipment of cigarettes into the forest, as a sign of resistance in the war against tobacco. Some monkeys find it and start smoking it. In the nearby Pygamous village, a sentry reports what he thinks he heard from the monkeys: they want to attack the village that very evening. He is sent to patrol the zone, but the monkeys, excited by the smoke, capture him. They tie the guard’s hands and tell him that they have found the secret of longevity and power, thanks to the cigarettes; that means that the Pygamous, who had up to then behaved like blood sucking vampires, will be enslaved by the monkeys.
