Description

A young girl, Ruth, is seen running around the garden with no clothes on. She picks up a tennis racket and hits a ball that is attached to a piece of elastic. The ball bounces wildly and she has to keep ducking to avoid being hit. Her older sister, Mary, is also seen practicing with the tennis racket. The film concludes with both girls skipping around the town, holding hands.
