Silent film directed by Mario Caserini for the Società Italiana Cines in 1908. It should not be confused, as is often the case, with the film "Abbandonata" from June 1910, whose director is unknown and was produced by Itala Films (a company Mario Caserini never worked for).
Our picture relates to a crime committed by a Gorilla who escapes from his cage and through circumstantial evidence a young man, whom we will call in our story Jim, is accused and is just about to be convicted.
The first scene presents before the astonished eyes of the spectators a solid piece of marble, which the minute it is placed on a table seems to take life, and one can follow a snake-like line branding on the polished face of the stone the name of the house of Pathé Frères.
