Comedy clip from a newsreel. A man goes for fishing at Cypress Gardens in Florida, United States. A man drives a very small car along a road. He carries fishing gear with him. The car moves along a street. The man passes a large station wagon car that is pulling a large boat. The other driver yells at him as he is forced off the road. The man smokes a cigarette. He hand-carries a very small, flimsy, plastic boat to a dock and puts it in the water. He climbs into the boat and it promptly sinks into the lake water under his weight and size.
