NoS Summary - Monkeys are weighed then do a few tricks for the camera.
British Pathe synopsis: "Bobby is frequently weighed and found wanting." C/U of a gorilla being weighed. Gorilla is handed something to eat to stop him fiddling with the scales. "Toto is a close second in the curiosity line." Another monkey is weighed - this time a chimpanzee.

Another monkey moves around the cage on top of a large ball.
