- A rocky spur of the mountain range is seen, when two hunters enter, one carrying a bag. The first one climbs up the rocks and with a pronged stick catches a snake in the bushes which he drops into the bag. With care he manages to descend, and a rocky wall is next seen with a reptile at least three feet long crawling over it. This is promptly caught and after some excitement is got into the bag. The hunter is next seen in: the bed of a stream struggling with a monster snake some six feet in length. Several times he stumbles, but it is a case of life or death, so that he manfully holds on to his prey. Down a fall of water he next clambers and manages to hit upon another reptile; in fact, he seems to know exactly how to "spot" a lurking place. His assistant apparently tries his hand, for he is seen descending the rocks with one wrapped round him and struggling with all the force at his command. Eventually he is released, when the tourniquet has to be used, but after a dose of brandy he seems to pull himself round again. Both men climb the rocky hillside like antelopes until they come across the trunk of an old tree, in which a serpent is taking its siesta. The hunter enters a cave from which. he issues with quite a number of fine specimens, the effect caused by the play of light on the rocks and stream issuing from the cave being exceptionally fine. He next catches several snakes in a field by the aid of a large towel, and the last one to be caught nearly strangles the hunter before he can manage to shoot it. The film concludes by showing a. snake being skinned while still alive.—Moving Picture World synopsis
