Folk dancers dressed in traditional Bavarian attire demonstrate an elaborate dance. Several short clips of various performers round out this film; among them are "Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair" (see also Media 1979-14 & Media 1979-17), a children's choir, a woman with a spinning wheel, and cloggers.
