In the wacky Canadian family comedy Spymate, a superspy named Mike Muggins ($Chris Potter} boasts a most unusual sidekick: a gun-toting chimp in a three-piece suit named Minkey, who operates as one of the country's best undercover agents. Mike and Minkey must team-up to foil the baddies when a sinister villain, Dr. Farley (Richard Kind) kidnaps Mike's twelve-year-old daughter Amelia (Emma Roberts), a scientific wunderkind. When Farley plans to use an expanded version of Amelia's invention -- a groundbreaking chemical drill -- to take over the world, only Mike and his furry companion can thwart Farley's fiendish plot. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Minkey, a super-spy primate, and his partner Mike (Chris Potter) were the two best spies in the business. For years, they made every mission possible... But when Mike retired to raise his baby girl, Amelia (Emma Roberts), he never predicted that life would come full circle. Ten years later, Amelia—who has invented a revolutionary oxygen iodide laser drill—is kidnapped and whisked off to Japan by her idol, Dr. Farley (Richard Kind), who is planning a highly dangerous experiment that could cause a massive earthquake and destroy the entire country of Japan. Mike and Minkey partner up one last time for their most important mission ever: saving Amelia—and Japan—from the clutches of the evil Dr. Farley.
