In a British barrack in India is confined a tamed gorilla which has conceived a hatred for one of the Hindoo attendants, owing to the barbarous treatment which the Hindoo accords the beast. This attendant proves to be a traitor to the British interests, and avails himself of his opportunities to possess himself of military papers and secrets which he carries to his friends in the rebel camp. His treachery is given scope in an ambuscade that he arranges, to entrap one of the officers of the barracks. This officer is shot and dangerously wounded, but is assisted back to the barracks by his aide. The traitorous Hindoo goes back to the barracks by a short route and betrays the camp to his friends who are to depart with prisoners, when a party of British troop arrive in time to save them and to see the traitor about to abduct a small child of the superior officer. All these barrack scenes have been witnessed by the caged gorilla, which has become furious with rage and excitement, and succeeds in breaking the bars as the Hindoo is taking the child away. The infuriated beast seizes the traitor by the throat and after a struggle in which the Hindoo gives a good account of himself by wounding the gorilla the traitor is strangled.
