Synopsis: |
The villagers believe monkeys to be sacred creatures, letting the monkeys eat their fill even as the people starve. The maharaja imports a caged gorilla to show that apes and monkeys are only animals. Believing that the gorilla is a god and that its caging has led to drought, villagers free the ape at the cost of two lives. Ghanga and the maharaja recapture the gorilla, after which the rains come, proving that the gorilla is not supernatural. |
