Plot summary
A music producer ( Stewart Finlay-McLennan ) is found shot to death in the locked panic room of his own mansion, and his pet chimpanzee is caught holding the murder weapon. Sharona steals the animal from police custody to keep it from being euthanized and stashes it at Monk's house, driving him to distraction as he tries to work out how the victim's wife ( Carmen Electra ) might be involved.
