Description |
Two short dramas featuring children from St Austins School. In 'The Kidnappers' some children have a game of rounders while one boy watches on, unable to play as his arm is in a sling. He is lured away and kidnapped by some other children, who leave a ransom note for his teacher, who goes on to rescue the boy with the help of his classmates. In 'The Famous Four' some children find a briefcase containing 'Top Secret' exam papers, and turn them into paper planes. Followed by unrelated footage of a school sports day, with relay and three-legged races. |
