Summary

Pathe synopsis: "A snappy combination - speedy feet and supply body." Rosie Moran dances in front of a curtain in the Pathe studio. She does a tap routine in a short costume - a sequin trimmed pants and bikini top. C/U of her feet in tap shoes as she dances away. Camera pans up for a view of her legs. L/Ss of her dance intercut with C/Us of her flying feet. "This is where the suppleness comes in" reads an intertitle. This is followed by shots of Rosie doing acrobatic cartwheels. "- and here is a terrific effort." Rosie does a cartwheel without hands - a somersault. "Watch it again, slowly -" We then see it in slow motion.
