| | Synopsis |
| | A new crime wave is hitting South Africa - whole new gangs of |
| | criminals are coming into town. Vervets are the most adaptable, |
| | inventive and cheeky monkeys in all of Africa and that means |
| | they're at home in the city as well as in the wild. In down town |
| | Durban they'll do anything to get a meal - smash and grab, even |
| | breaking and entering - and it seems almost no security |
| | measures can keep them out. Their remarkably cheeky |
| | behaviour endears them to many people but for others makes |
| | them public enemy number one. This film reveals that living |
| | together is a roller coaster life for monkeys and people alike. |
