The final reel in the 4 series, offers no surprises here..
First clip is of a travelling barber who goes to trailer park to trailer park. No doubt to offer all the inbred kids a hand.
We then see a clip of an unusual train/bus combo. Looks like an interesting idea, wonder why something like that isn't used today (like for remoter areas)
We then see.. Yes! A firefighting dog! He rides along with the firemen ringing the bell, and dangerously climbing a ladder to rescue a girl's DOLL (???!!). Why? Who knows. We don't see the dog flying down the pole though (as shown with the firefighting kitten in a previous film)
Traffic reports from the sky is then shown. It looks to be like a newer idea as evident here. Passable.
Finally, a regatta boat race is shown. Not much too excitement.
