The Gorilla

A Ritz is afraid of nothing ... but ... THIS ... IS ... SOMETHING!

48%(29)IMDbComedyMysteryCrime

When an escaped circus gorilla appears to have gone on a murderous rampage, a threatened attorney calls on the detective trio of Garrity, Harrigan and Mullivan to act as bodyguards. In short order, we discover that there is more to the attorney than meets the eye, and the ape may be innocent after all. When a pretty young heiress faces peril, it's up to our heroic trio to save the day.
