Summary
Pathe synopsis: Life is all fun and games for two-year-old Heathcliffe and three-year-old Lucy, the chimpanzees who live at Hints in Staffordshire, for they enjoy nothing better than a ride on a tricycle or a romp in the playground. Of course someone has to do the housework and that falls to six-year-old Michelle who can do the ironing and wield a vacuum cleaner with an almost human touch.
