Since Beneath The Planet Of The Apes (the second episode) ended with the destruction of the Earth of the future, the lone survivors were forced to travel to Earth's past...the '70s. Cornelius (McDowall) and Zira (Hunter), now ape and wife, discover the spaceship that brought humans to their time period, so they Escape From The Planet Of The Apes. Their splashdown is just off the coast of Los Angeles, where they are celebrated guests. But when the world is told of the future destruction of humans and the uprising of apes, Cornelius and Zira are targeted for murder. (Gary Reber)
