- Tall date trees against the background of the silent desert forming a beautiful oasis is the first of the many things of Southern Tunis revealed in this film. Under the protecting shade of these giant trees grows a verdant mass of clinging vine and smaller fruit trees. Then comes a picture of a dangerous inhabitant of the country, a cobra, which rears its hooded head menacingly. But paramount in interest are the pictures of the clouds of locusts settling upon the land and ravaging its crops, a blight which human ingenuity is yet powerless to combat. Bringing hunger as they do in their train, it is strange that the locusts should sometimes serve as food when other nourishment is not obtainable, but this is so, and a boy picking off and eating the locusts settling on his coat illustrates this truth. Market scenes in Nabeul, a picture of a noria, a rude contrivance sometimes used in Spain and Eastern countries for raising water, and views of flocks pasturing amongst the olive trees under the sheltering care of a Tunisian shepherd, are also included in the film.
