Synopsis

The subject is two grotesque-looking human beings who are sitting on the deck of a ship. The two weird individuals sit cross-legged and do the bidding of a man in oriental costume. The point of the film seems to be directed at the fact that the bone structure of the two subjects makes them look like monkeys or apes, and the spectators seem to be trying to get them to behave like monkeys, that is, scratch themselves, etc.

SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
boblipton The transfer on YouTube is of a fuzzy videotape copy, with the online source and the rolling time stamp of the tape taking up about a quarter of the screen. It appears to be set on the deck of a ship where two men with peculiar haircuts, wearing long shirts, sit cross-legged and pick at each other as if they were apes grooming, or walking about clumsily in the manner of chimpanzees. There are 55 views since it was posted on September 19, 2017. Over on the Internet Movie DataBase, there are six votes for a average rating of 1.8; G.W. Bitzer is credited as the cameraman and American Mutoscope & Biograph as the production company and distributor. A Google search turns up nothing else but two other YouTube copies, with but a single comment among them: "Wow."Carnival sideshow act? People raised by wild animals? People with birth defects? Internet hoax? I've no idea.
