Plot Summary:A young boy sits in his tree house on a rainy day, the far off pennants of the circus fluttering above the big top. Investigating the contents of a red box uncovers a host of multi-colored gastropods, snails to you or me. Now there are lots of things a young French boy can do with snails but this fellow places one on a convenient piece of string allowing it to enact the first of a series of gravity defying feats before, ladies and gentlemen, our very eyes, in a performance that develops to incorporate the boy himself in the action.
