He then proceeded to capture Uncle Julius, though is momentarily distracted by Bones and chases him.

Aurora then leaves the Gorilla Ghost to monitor Donkey Kong Jr., Bones, and Uncle Julius while she checks on the elephants. The trio manages to throw him into a mine cart to distract them, allowing them enough time to escape. He reports the trio's escape to Aurora, oblivious to the fact that they are hiding in the boulders he is leaning on. After Aurora discovers and ties them up again, the Gorilla Ghost escapes along with her and all the gold they have found. However, it is not long before they are being chased by the trio again. The Gorilla Ghost attempts to close the entrance gates to stop Donkey Kong Jr. and Uncle Julius, but they simply rip out the gates to bend them into a cage. Bones then lands on Aurora and the Gorilla Ghost, knocking them out. The elephants throw them into the cage, now labeled "Crook Exhibit".
