Synopsis

An explorer in Africa is cooking some food in a pot in front of his tent. He is unaware that a dangerous looking native holding a spear is watching him from the undergrowth. The explorer lies down to sleep. The native creeps into the tent and takes a small object. He returns to his family. Before he goes closer he opens the litle box and rubs a substance on himself enthusiastically. Now he is even blacker and shinier. The box contains Armada shoe polish.
