Discuss the episode in which Fossey is forced to leave the camp. What convinced officials to let her return?

On July 9, 1967, Fossey was forced from the camp by soldiers who talked about political upheaval. Fossey told the soldiers that she wanted to register her Range Rover in Zaire and that her money was being kept in Kisoro, Uganda. The soldiers agreed to accompany Fossey on the trip. Fossey arrived at a check station where she could have been held. A humorous incident follows during which Fossey jumps around overly excited about the laying of Lucy's first egg. The action convinced the soldiers at the station that she was a harmless idiot.
