Summary

Pathe synopsis: We pay an all-too-brief visit to Canada’s beautiful Vancouver Island to meet the Indians of the Cowichan tribe - world-famous for their hand-knitted sweaters. The hand-spun lambswool, in its four natural colours (black, white, brown and grey) will not only keep you warm - it will keep the rain out, too!
