"Amateur filmmaker, cinema historian and railway engineer H.A.V. Bulleid employs a grim sense of humour to show the lengths to which a young man will go to make money. Out walking in the fields, a boy comes across a steep drop, and sitting on the clifftop, he hatches a foolproof money making scheme. Advertising for people to 'Come and see a 'death leap'', he charges 6d entry. As the crowd assembles on the clifftop, an unwitting patron is urged to move backwards, stumbling over the edge. Happy with the success of his scheme, the boy sits in the grass, clutching the money in his pocket" (EAFA Database).
