Glimpse in Winter, of Lake Huron bordering property of Harry Bennett, Director of the Ford Motor Company Service Department. Camera pans quickly to show his log cabin house in the woods. Next, he and three friends are seen roughhousing in the snow. Bennett starts throwing snowballs, and his friends continue the snowball fight near their parked cars (1934 Fords). Two women approach the cars. Next, his friends pummel Bennett with snowballs as he heads toward his parked car. He jumps inside it quickly and drives away, as they throw snowballs at his car. Meanwhile, as one of the women is getting into the back of a car, one of the men throws a snowball at her. He then goes quickly to brush snow away from her. Behind them another man begins to drive his car away. The two women seated on the back seat laugh. Snow is seen on inside of the open door. Camera pans over snow and then back to the other car driving away. (It is a 1934 Ford Fordor Sedan Deluxe with the optional Potter Trunk and the spare tire.) Closeup of Harry Bennet holding a snowball. Closeup of two women laughing in backseat of a car.
Camera pans across fireplace in log cabin style home belonging to Harry Bennett, head of Ford Motor Company Service Department. He is entertaining guests. One, a woman, is seated near the fire. Interior of cabin near front door is seen. View shifts to different woman guest descending stairs. She warms herself in front of the fire. Harry Bennett places some more logs on the fire. The woman settles comfortably in a chair. Next, she is seen picking up a rabbit from the floor and trying to pose it on a chair for the camera. But it is struggling and she puts it down. She picks it up again and holds it. She then opens the front door as the cameraman (unseen) moves into the doorway to show the snow on the ground outside. Scene shifts to several women and men guests socializing near the fireplace. Change of scene shows one guest with a gun outside the cabin. A rabbit is nearby. Later, inside, he picks up the, now dead, rabbit up by the ears and places it in a cardboard box. Harry Bennett speaks to his guests.
