Synopsis

This entry of the Robert Ripley series does not feature Robert (who is away gathering material on his tours). Leo Donnelly narrates various odds and ends like a church service held on the Saint Lawrence River in boats, one of the largest sculptures in the world, sand art in bottles, and a man who pulls cars with his hair. This episode also has a greater amount of "critter" material: chickens learn to be aquatic thanks to a training duck, another hen adopts puppies as her own, the Australian platypus is discussed (not as famous then as today), and a couple of horse topics (a motorized blacksmith, a blacksmith shop adjacent to the Chrysler Building, and a horse with double-hoof).
