► A giant caged gorilla is placed into a military cargo plane, accompanied by a man and a woman in handcuffs who argue with soldiers and an
agent; the gorilla growls, snarls, and roars, showing large sharp teeth until he breaks apart the cage and several soldiers and government
agents fire rifles and handguns to no avail as the animal roars and
throws pieces of metal, striking some of the men, tosses several men
against the bulkheads of the plane, and stands on the chest of an unconscious
agent, who wakes up and shouts; a sliding military vehicle in the cargo hold pins the gorilla to a wall, the man and the woman in handcuffs break free and don parachutes, placing one on the
agent and after the plane crashes in smoke and flames we see few bloody footprints of the gorilla leading away from the crash site (we do not see the bodies of the other passengers) and the
agent has a cut on his forehead and the other man has lots of blood on the back of head and his T - shirt while the woman's face is scraped on one cheek and one side of her forehead.
Years later, after submitting the same novels to the rigors of good editing, I came to see that the two
agents in question were probably what's known as
throw - it -
against - the - wall
agents.
