A beautiful orphan girl, faced with the prospect of being forced to work as an indentured servant (more like a slave) until she grows up, runs away to the zoo. There she encounters a kindly zookeeper who has been chastised by his boss for being too nice to the animals. He becomes a fugitive after stealing a wealthy woman's fur coat. He and the girl meet while hiding out in the zoo. Later he saves her from an attack by a vicious co-worker. More scuffles ensue and they result in many dangerous animals being freed from their cages. The errant zookeep later redeems himself by saving a young child from a hungry tiger.

Wow

This "naturalistic" romance set in a zoo is a delight, and the ending is just mindblowing. The zoo animals are integral characters, not just eye candy. Highly recommended.
Best I've seen on this title

Reputedly this long-thought-lost film only exists on 16mm.
It looks pretty good here, considering. Not sure dp Lee Garmes would think so though.
ZOO IN BUDAPEST: A PHOTOGRAPHIC MARVEL

Posted by Kenneth Orme on Oct 27th 2015

With cinematography supervised by Lee Garmes and adroit editing by Harold Schuster, ZOO IN BUDAPEST is a neglected cinema gem. Acting and screenplay are unexceptional, and sound a bit less than perfect, but the animal closeups, zoo ambience and enormous dramatic suspense of the climax make this film a must-see for admirers of mobile, versatile camerawork.
