NoS Summary - Stunt woman is run over by several cars.
British Pathe synopsis: "Here’s a lady who’s started a new business - if you like! Getting run over!" M/S of a woman taking off her jacket and being helped to put on a white coat. A man lays a piece of fabric down on the ground in front of a box. The woman lays on the fabric and several cars are then driven over the box and over her body. "If you’re run down, get run over, for a change." C/U shots of the woman being run over. The tires go over her backside! Spectators stand around and watch the stunt.
