Overview
This short film with shots of neon lights at night – presumably on the Bournemouth seafront – before we get some shots of two children, Christine and Peter Ashlee, playing crazy golf. Then, after some inventive inter-film titles, it’s back to the family home, where the children play with younger sister Diane and ignore the rabbit. Taken from Bexley’s Ashlee Family Films collection.
