Synopsis

Space Chimps 2 takes place a few days after that first film. It follows Comet, the technology chimp who wants to be taken as a full-fledged space chimp person. In the last film, he never got to have a go in space. However, he finds out that he was cut from the mission because of the budget cuts and no one takes him seriously any more. He just walks on the rocket ship and he accidentally launches the ship into space. Comet goes to Planet Malgor where he sees the alien what is named Kilowatt, and gets his fantasy.

However, it's time for Comet to do something when the alien Zartog takes over Mission Control. Zartog wants to get Ham for ruining his plans of ruling Malgor despite that Titan got Zartog in the last film. Comet must go and join fellow chimps Ham, Luna and Titan, to stop him.
