Summary

A commercial promoting children's footwear from the Bata company.

Synopsis

Two mischievous children with a dog walk on a railway track. An approaching train hoots at them, but the children do not care. The train releases a big black cloud of smoke, which carries them away and puts them high in a tree. The branch under them breaks and turns into a banjo. The children sing to its accompaniment, kicking cans, stones and broken bottles on the way. Their shoes suffer very much from the frolicking. They finally go down the hill on their feet and let themselves be pulled behind a car. As they return home, their mother gets angry because their shoes are ruined. One of the children draws her attention to the Bata company. Both children then flaunt their beautiful, new shoes from Bata and chant: "Hooray hooray, Bata!"
