Summary

NoS synopsis: "Adam himself couldn’t sing a hoop better than Miss Louise - or more daintily." M/S of woman kneeling down in a studio setting. She is juggling with a large number of hoops. She catches the hoops and smiles at the camera. She is wearing a big baggy outfit - like a pierrot costume or clown costume. "Slow-motion makes it so easy, (to watch)." We then see her juggle in slow motion. "A real all-rounder (five tennis balls)." Louise then juggles with five tennis balls. We see this is slow motion. We then see the woman doing some very fast juggling with clubs. This again is seen in slow motion.
