It may be the last basket of grapes that I enjoy, thanks to you.

But it'll be well worth it.

It'll be a small price to pay.

It'll be well worth it.

Well worth it.

Your plundering days are over, chimp.

And that goes for all of you.

Go on, you might as well get moving. You'll find things pretty tasteless from

now on.

Go on!

Get out! Get!

Thank you.

Judy, stop teasing Toto.

Now give her some of those grapes.

Judy, you glutton, you. I'm ashamed of you.

Toto, stop crying. I'll give you something that Judy can't have, like a

fresh banana or some candy, all right?

I love you.

Well, now you're sorry. Is that it?

You have a bit of a tummy ache.

That's too bad, Judy.

I wonder how that could have happened.

I don't expect any sympathy from us.

Judy, come on, stop faking.

Judy, what is it?

Judy, what's wrong?

Judy was eating some grapes and teasing Toto. Then she wouldn't share them. The

next day I knew she collapsed.

How many did she eat?

Enough to upset her stomach, but not enough to do anything like this.

That's not from overeating. Her pulse is irregular.

Dad, what is it?

Little lips, heavy breathing.

Looks like poison.

That's impossible.

She's had those kind of grapes before and they've never affected her this way.

I'll have to pump her stomach.

Paula, you and Toto wait outside.

Come on, Toto.

Paula?

Judy?

Paula, the poison was from the grapes she ate. Do you have any idea where she

might have gotten them? No, Dad.

Well, it contains a toxin I've never seen before.

Well, can't you give her some sort of counteractive?

Well, I can try.

But until I find out just exactly what it is that she's taken, I'm afraid it's

going to be a hit -or -miss medication.

Marsh, all the earth on Judy's feet is red alluvial.

That would be this other area.

Well, that means it's within about a five -mile radius.

There's a lot of ground to cover.

What are you talking about?

Well, we have to try to find the vine or vines that infected Judy so we can run

an analysis on the grapes.

But, Dad, we don't have time. Just look at Judy.

Oh, now, Paula, just calm down.

Now, listen.

We're going to call Headley.

Tell him what's happened.

And then he, Jack, Mike, and I will each take a section and start looking.

But, Dad, the chances of finding that vine are one in a thousand.

We don't have any choice.

I want you to stay here with Judy and give her one of these every half hour.

We'll keep checking back by walkie -talkie to see how she's doing.

Let's go. We know all the samples we can get.

Hello there.

Hello. I'm District Officer Hedley.

Cooper Smith.

Terry Cooper Smith.

Glad to meet you. I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Cooper Smith.

Do you have some coffee?

No, thank you.

Actually, I would have driven by this place, but McDonald down the road told

you just moved in here.

I took possession two weeks ago.

Well, if I'd known that, I'd come by to say hello.

I like to keep abreast of all the new people in the neighbourhood.

Better late than never, I suppose.

Actually, the reason I'm in the area is rather urgent. Oh?

There seems to be a crisis. I've talked to the other farmers in this section.

What sort of crisis?

One of the pet chimps in the Womero compound has suddenly been taken very

because of some grapes she ate.

Grapes?

What kind of grapes?

You don't know that. That's our problem.

Oh, I see.

I see you have grapes on your property.

Yes, I have.

They're very tasty.

Oh, you eat them yourself, then? Every day.

They've never made you ill? No. Nor any of your animals?

No.

Matter of fact, I understand that animals won't touch anything that makes

sick. They instinctively shy away from it. Oh, yes, that's true to an extent.

Naturally, animals don't eat... poisonous plants as a rule.

But if it's a synthetic poison... Synthetic?

Well, yes. Like an insecticide.

Animals sometimes can't differentiate.

That's why the use of unregistered insecticides is strictly forbidden in

area. Oh?

Well, you sound surprised. Didn't you know that?

I knew it.

I... I was surprised at the reason for their being forbidden.

That's very interesting.

Do you have some grapes?

No, thank you. Actually, I'm too upset to eat.

This fat chimp seems to be very important to you.

When you've been in the area for a while, Mr. Cooper Smith, you'll realize

all the reserve animals are important.

Judy is a particular great.

Well, I must be getting along.

I suppose we can scratch this area off our list.

Now I remember.

Old man McGreevy used to be very bothered with baboons in this area.

Well, you don't seem to be cursed for the same problem.

No.

Not as yet.

Well, I'm glad to hear it.

I hope I'll see you again soon.

Thank you.

Marsha, it's Jack. I've got to get back to the compound.

Dad, the pills aren't working. Judy's pulse is weaker.

Paula, listen.

Give her a shot of adrenaline.

How many cc's?

About a quarter milligram and give it intravenously.

I'll check back in about 15 minutes.

Dad, did you find anything?

No, I'm just taking some samples. We won't know anything until we run an

analysis at the lab.

All right, Dad. Please hurry.

Honey, we're all doing our best.

Mike, Headley, Jack, all of us.

Don't worry. We'll come up with something.

Bye, Dad.

Jack, can you hear me?

Yeah, Mars, I can hear you.

Did you say something about going back to the compound?

Well, I thought I lost something, but I... I found it.

I guess I'm getting a little punchy.

Oh.

Well, how long before you finish with your area?

Well, I'm moving as fast as I can. I'd say about two hours.

Jack, your voice sounds kind of funny.

Are you sure there isn't anything wrong?

No, Marsh, I'm fine.

Look, I'm going over to Chief Matuba's village to see if any of his people have

taken ill. It might save some time.

Marsh, look, Matuba's medicine man isn't exactly fond of you.

He did threaten to slice you up if you ever got near the chief again.

Yeah, I know.

But Judy's life is at stake, so I figure anything...

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Well, Marsh, look, keep in touch, huh?

Yeah, will do. You do the same, huh?

I'll...

Thank you.

Oh, Judy.

You can't die. You just can't.

Dad, this is Paula. Do you hear me?

Dad, this is Paula.

Do you hear me?

Dad, do you read me?

Paula, it's Jack. What's up?

I've been trying to reach Dad, but there's no answer. Have you heard from

Yeah, he went to Matuba's village.

Matuba's village?

After all that trouble?

Don't worry, honey. He'll be all right.

Well, I gave Judy the shot of adrenaline, but she's still not

Gums are dry and pale and... Heart's very weak.

Fallen. Fallen, don't do anything.

Dad, where are you?

I'm just leaving Chief Matuba's village.

Did you learn anything?

No, but I have a hunch that Matuba's witch doctor's been brewing up something

new because they sure don't want me around here.

What's Judy's blood pressure?

75 over 60.

That was about five minutes ago.

Look, give her a shot of methoxamine.

15 milligrams IV. I'll keep checking back.

All right, over and out.

Mike, Jack, Marsh must be out of range.

You hear him?

Yeah, drums.

I'm at the Djibouti village. They're sending the message all through the

The other villages will be picking it up.

Well, that's good.

Maybe it'll cut down on some of our footwork.

Yeah?

Jack, you sound strange. You okay?

I'm fine.

Look, I'll see you back at Romero in about an hour.

Well, that can't be.

I picked them before they sprayed. That can't be.

Thank you.

hurt, he walked into a poacher's spear trap.

Right on.

I'll be coming in.

How's Judy?

I think you better get here as quickly as possible, Dad.

Roger.

I must have sprayed the basket.

We'll get to Dr. Tracy.

Any luck?

All bad.

Jack walked into a poacher's spear trap.

Marsh got run out of Batuba's village.

Then got jumped by a leopard and is tore pretty good.

That's dreadful. Well, how's Judy?

We won't know that until we run tests on these samples. Come on.

Dad, she stopped breathing.

Well, she's breathing. It's faint, but steady.

Jack, make several test tubes of those samples.

Right, Marsh. Will do.

It's her only hope now.

This one's negative.

Both of you. Well, it seems grape hunting is behind a hazardous pastime.

Anything?

Hello again, officer.

Hello, Mr. Cooper -Smith.

This is Dr. Tracy, his daughter Paula, Mike McCullough, and Jack Day.

How do you do?

You appear to have suffered an injury.

Oh, yes.

What brings you to Omero, Mr. Cooper -Smith?

I was just passing.

And I thought of the sick chimp and wondered how she's doing.

Not too well, I'm afraid.

And, of course, I want to see my new neighbors, too.

What are they doing?

We're analyzing samples from the area we think she walked through.

If we can find out what the poison is, we still stand a fighting chance.

And no luck as yet?

No, no, not yet.

Toto, what are you doing?

Toto seems to have an inordinate interest in your haversack, Mr.

Doctor, tell me, do you think that a larger animal, or even a

human, would suffer the same effect from such a poison?

I mean, if she... If the

chimp should not pull through, which I'm sure she

will, but if she didn't, would a human die from the same

poison?

Well, yes, I'd say it's quite possible.

Of course, it depends on how much is taken in.

Fortunately, Judy has a pretty strong constitution.

This is pretty powerful stuff that you got into.

I just wish I knew what it was.

Well, I think I can help you, Doctor.

If Judy doesn't make it and I find who's ever responsible, I swear I'll have him

locked up for a year.

Well, I best be going.

Oh, Mr. Coopersmith.

I thought you said you could help.

What I meant was...

Don't hesitate to call on me.

I can do anything.

It might seem to come by, but he certainly seems like an odd fellow.

He did act a little strangely, didn't he? He wasn't that way when I talked to

him earlier.

Hello? Where are you going?

Toto, come back here.

Why is she screaming like this?

I don't know.

Toto, come here.

Got to find something.

Mike?

Oh, Judy.

She's still breathing, Paul.

And Judy's a fighter.

There's still a chance.

Look at this. What is it?

It looks like Coopersmith's haversack.

What in the devil are you doing with this?

Dad,

what is it?

It's an insecticide.

What? I told him it was a cell when Coopersmith brought it in. That's why

was pulling it as haversack.

But I don't understand. Why would he bring it in here?

I think he came here to confess.

What do you mean?

He was going to tell us about it. Then he got a look at Judy and heard me

threaten jail to whoever was responsible.

But how did Toto get the haversack?

Cooper Smith drove off.

Toto couldn't possibly have overtaken him.

Unless he stopped suddenly, fresh blood.

Paula, you and Jack run a test on this stuff. Mike, come on.

This is crazy.

What's the matter?

Well, it's not like any commercial insecticide I've ever seen. It's got a

bark acid for a base. Look.

Settles to the bottom of the test tube.

You mean it's homemade?

That's one way of putting it.

You see my eyedropper?

Yeah, it's right there.

Do you have an antidote for it?

I'll have one as soon as I can.

Careful, he may have some internal injuries.

Easy, easy.

I wonder how he went off the road like that.

Maybe he swerved to avoid an animal.

I don't think it was an animal.

My guess is that he passed out.

Passed out from what?

Poison in his system.

I thought he looked a little pale when he was talking to us.

You mean maybe he's sick like Judy?

Looks that way.

No wonder he was asking if that stuff could kill a man.

He probably got a dose of the same stuff and was trying to save his own skin.

Well, they've not done a very good job of it.

Come on, let's get him back to the clinic. Maybe Jack has that stuff

the can. If he has, we might be able to save him and Judy.

me too if I'd eaten any of your rotten grapes.

Now, Heavy, it's not entirely Mr. Cooper Smith's fault.

But Cooper's witch doctor is equally to blame for selling him the stuff. And I'm

going to settle with him, too.

I was desperate.

I put my last farthing into the farm.

When the baboons started eating my crops, I didn't know what to do.

I thought that spraying the grapes would drive the creatures away.

You might have come to me. You might have asked a few questions.

Would you have any answers?

Well, not about the baboons, perhaps, but I would have warned you against

unregistered insecticides.

What are you doing?

I'm saving you from an ulcer.

You can quit lecturing Mr. Coopersmith now.

What's in that vial?

Well, it's a special leopard scent I've been working on.

Did you notice our duty and Toto shied away from it?

Well, I think it'll be equally as effective against your bothersome

That's incredible.

No, not really.

Apes usually keep a healthy distance from leopards.

I think if you spray a solution of that on your grapes, your troubles will be

over. I am deeply grateful to you, Doctor.

And if Officer Headley will spare me a jail sentence for my ignorance, I'll go

right home and start using this.

Well, if you don't give me time for a cup of tea, I might even drive you home.

You ever known a Britisher who could remain angry over tea and cakes?

And especially cake with grapes on it.

Well, I assure you they're quite safe.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Shy? I'd say the world is terrified.

Thank you.

Thank you.
