In the 30 minute documentary (winner, Best Documentary at the New York Underground Film Festival in 1999), the filmmakers went right to the source - the original writer/creators of the unique kidvid classic.
No wonder, Mike Marmer and Stan Burns (the creators of the program) were known for their exceptional work writing for the best variety programs of the Sixties and Seventies - including Flip Wilson, The Smothers Brothers and The Carol Burnett Show, where they wrote many memorable routines including 'Went With The Wind', the famous 'Gone With The Wind' Parody (they won an Emmy for that one). Marmer and Burns sold ABC on Lance Link because of their stint writing for 'Get Smart' - and Lance Link, Secret Chimp' was pretty much 'Get Smart' with fur and 'psychedelic' music.
Lance's female sidekick was Mata Hairi and together they battled villains like The Duchess, The Baron, Wang Fu, Dr. Strangemind, Creto, Ali AssaSeen, and other evil agents of C.H.U.M.P..
The narrator was Malanchi Throne, with the voices of Bernie Kopell (Love Boat), Dayton Allen (Winky Dink), Joan Gerber and Steven Hoffman.
AMAZING SATURDAY MORNING SHOW
The film was shot at the home of Stan Burns, where he and Marmer relate one funny anecdote after another about the chimp series.

Lancelot
Link, Secret Chimp debuted on Saturday morning, September 12, 1970
and was an instant hit. 
Lancelot
Link was a super agent for A.P.E. (Agency to Prevent Evil) in a simian
nod to The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 
The
The
budget for the series was the highest ever (at that time) for a Saturday
series - over a million dollars, necessary because of the production
limitations inherent in working with animals. Many new lighting techniques
had to be utilized to shoot the dark chimp faces; the animals were trained
by industry veteran Frank Inn (Petticoat Junction, Benji).
For
the first season, the Saturday show was an hour in length (9:00am -
10:00am) and included cartoon segments, the second season was a half-hour
of reruns (12:30-1:00) without the music and cartoon interludes.
'I
Created Lance Link' takes you behind the minds behind the show, it's
a fascinating look into the makings of a TV show and an intimate glimpse
into the lives of two of TV's greatest comedy writers.
