        Elephant's Extra Trunk

        Indarini the elephant helps move a recently felled tree.

        Non-Fiction 1925 1 mins Silent

        Overview

        "As felled tree at Zoo is too much for human hands, 'Indarini' is brought in to 'tidy up'". While many of the Topical Budget newsreel's numerous zoo items tend to be satisfied with animal spectacle alone, this story offers at least a semblance of a narrative. The elephant Indarini comes to the rescue of assorted hapless humans, who are first shown trying to lift a fallen tree trunk with little success.

        Indarini is far more effective, at first creating a visual pun by using a trunk to pick up a trunk, and then rolling a larger trunk in the right direction. The man riding Indarini seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself, underscored by the gleeful closing title 'Ride 'em Cowboy!'
