Synopsis

The life of the Bushmen in the African interior is shown: their hunting and dancing. There is a scene showing the Bushmen's reaction to a portable phonograph playing an Al Jolson record containing the word "Pickaninny," which the narrator explains is the only word carried over to American idiom by Africans. Atmospheric shots of African coastal towns and long shots of herds of animals are included.
