Eli and Susie had spent much of their young lives in front of cameras... the practice can end in tragedy as 'Chimp Crazy' makes clear.
Chimpanzees are highly intelligent and social creatures, living in small basement cages and acting like the wild animals they are, sometimes gravely injuring people.
