Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Steeple Cross Transporting. DESCRIPTION: A cross on a church in Austria was in need of repair, so they thought of a clever way to get it down. A rope was fixed and then a helicopter would fly away with the cross. But the church steeple was too tough - there was a tug-of-war. The helicopter was soon in serious trouble, and in the nick of time, the pilot got rid of the rope and flew safely away. SHOTLIST: No shot list.
