Beach Scenes - Children / teenagers dress up as tribes of the Pacific Islands and perform a native ceremony and tribal battle on the beach. Location of events unknown - British (?) seaside town with a pier. Opens w/ MS panning on group of young Caucasians; ages 10-16; dressed in their idea of typical tribal clothing - grass skirts; sarongs; or torn shorts; beads; headbands or scarves; war paint; etc. Some of them brandish long swords; spears; or other weapons. LS beach; w/ pageant in progress; audience watching behind wall at left; the kids are dancing in circles around a statue of a heathen god or idol. Closer shot same. Shot of a few of the children wading into water w/ small roundish boats which do vaguely resemble what they're supposed to. Suddenly; a regular rowboat full of kids representing an enemy tribe arrives from across water; and they jump out; attack. A battle starts. Pan left as invaders wade to shore; both sides throwing things at each other. Chaos ensues. Closer shot of the fighting
