Two little girls hide in the boys’ bathroom at school so they can find out what happens there. When two boys come in, the four gradually talk each other into taking off their clothes. The principal catches them, and angrily berates them for what they’ve been up to, warning them that he’ll have to tell their parents about the incident. Later repercussions are seen as parents of three of them separately discuss and fight about what has happened. Returning to school poses an additional challenge, as everyone has found out what has gone on.

Quality is poor for this one both audio and video but it’s an uber-rare short film and I think highly unlikely to surface in bettter quality anytime soon. Enjoy!

    An astonishing find. I’ve heard about this for years. Sad we won’t know what Frederick Elmes’ photography looked like, as no prints or the negatives exist anymore

      Do you know for a fact that no prints or negatives exist? Let’s call up Dyan Cannon.

        EDIT: Ah, now I see how you know. Cannon said the negatives burned up in a fire at her house.

    An absolutely wonderful little film. The kids were really great. I laughed a lot during this. It was very interesting how the attitudes of the adults, and the way they treated their children, were so varied. This was really great.

    When I was in school, we certainly weren’t anywhere as rowdy as these kids. I definitely don’t think that a young boy like Mathew would be familiar with a song like he sang!!! Most of the adults had serious emotional problems. The most sensible adult was the fellow who was talking to his son while shaving. When I was a young schoolboy, I was always trying to see how girls looked ‘down there’ also, and did get caught once. The bathroom scene was the cutest, until the principal showed up and showed how sick he was.
