Synopsis
The odds are against the dwindling population of "Silverback" Gorillas, as a group of them is not only being persecuted by Ratco trappers and insecticide cultivators, but also by the hungry villagers. They prepare to fight for their territory in the face of certain death, but the Bamboo Bears find a solution that will benefit all, except Rataleone, of course!
