Master 13 - Tape 1 Slightly faded color short that seems to be a Mexico travelogue. Opening montage of, well, all things. Opening shot of hillside dotted with hotels. Cable car descending hillside. POV from descending cable car. Crowded beach. Two boys standing on surfboard-type thing, paddling it with oars. Glass Bottom Boat ("Polaris"). Underwater shots of boys diving to puffer fish. Boys surface with fish, full of water, and squeeze them so that water shoots out of their (the fishes') mouths. "Holiday on Skis" sign. Girls getting on water-skis, then skiing away. Man water-skiing on his head. Pyramid. Skiers ski into the frame, the boat (apparently) slows, and the skiers fall smilingly into the water. Title card: 'The End'.
