Summary
Pathe synopsis: Cornwall’s scaly Lizard isn’t sea-broken. It’s broken by man. For they’re scales of Serpentine Rock - rock of a thousand hues and tones - that is wrested from the savage coastline, transformed and sold to people all over the world too well acquainted with the concrete of cities.
