What happens

The Beast of Borneo is a 1934 American pre-code film directed by Harry Garson. The film is made up mostly of leftover footage from Universal Studios's East of Borneo, made in 1931. A couple of added dialogue scenes were spliced into what was essentially a travelogue and a series of close-ups of an enraged orangutan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
