Monkey Trouble is a 1994 comedy film directed by Franco Amurri and starring Thora Birch. 9-year-old Eva Gregory longs for a pet to call her own, but her mother Amy does not think she is responsible enough, and her stepfather Tom is allergic to fur. She cannot keep the pet at her father Peter's house because he is a pilot and travels a lot. One day, a Capuchin monkey runs away from his drunken master, gypsy thief Azro, who blames him for his domestic woes. He meets Eva in the park, and she names him Dodger. At home, she finds that keeping him a secret is trouble. She only allows her little... half-brother Jack, who cannot speak yet, into her room with him. At a grocery store, Dodger steals food and hides it in Eva's backpack but she returns it. On her return home, she discovers he has also stolen golden jewelry and wallets. So she teaches him not to steal. Azro kidnaps him at a pet shop where Eva had left him while she was at school. He discovers that he does not steal anymore. Angry, he confronts Eva while Amy, Peter, Tom, and his fellow police officers look for her. Dodger saves her and Azro is arrested by Tom.
