M/S of group of men standing together, one of them plays an unusual musical instrument. Closer shot of him playing the instrument. C/U of performing dog standing on its hind legs using its foot to play a strange instrument. Man stands beside him playing a little cymbal. "...to the quaint buildings perched on the most inaccessible of spots..." L/S through a binocular shaped mask of a cliff-face.
