Description:

"The film opens with an introduction to some of the animals and insects that may be found in the remote countryside, all enjoying themselves in the warm sun. Suddenly a storm gathers and the wild life begin to show anxiety a sort of expectancy as the trees respond to the winds. The fury of the story is upon us - lighting, thunder, wind, rain. The elements are present in full force. Soon it is spent and quietude is again part of the country. A simple episode of nature, but told with action, feeling, and sound, coordinated into a wonderful storm. This is will be included in the Package" PSA Journal, Oct. 1962, 33.
