Description

Three short amateur dramas featuring children from St Austins School. In the first, some boys find a crystal ball during a game of cricket, which summons a monster who chases them around. The second film has two children who find a magic rabbit's foot that causes time to stop, much to their amusement. And in the final film, a pair of children find a magic flute which, when played, causes people to dance, including an elderly woman with a walking stick.
