Summary

Pathe synopsis: We’re deep in the jungle - at Paignton Zoo in Devon, where nearly two thousand of the animals live in their natural habitat. One who doesn’t is Charlie the chain-smoking chimp who’s got so nervy through this twenty-a-day habit that he’s got to be kept behind bars. But he’ll still cadge a light for his fag from a passer-by.
