[edit] Plot
An arrogant inventor and his sarcastic assistant have always been out-smarted by this little girl, who uses magic rather than science. They are working on a new invention to prove that they do not need her help. They create a giant robotic gorilla. But then the girl comes in and once again, out-smarts them, by using magic to bring the gorilla to life and she also gave it the ability to sing opera and play cymbals like a wind-up toy monkey. The inventor and his assistant walk away discussing the next invention while the girl and the gorilla walk into the sunset.
