The fiest half of this film seems to be a card / letter to a long distance friend in Lyons (France?) made into a super 8 movie. Indianapolis locations are seen, as well as friends and new friends. Seems to be a plea come down to visit! The second half presents a vaudville show presented by the 1950 class of the Shortridge High School. A school still standing in Indianapolis. And man, when they say, "Variety" they mean it! Dancing, singing, they have magic, a scene from Frankenstein (!!), caricture drawing (!!) and they end it all with a blackface number! Yeehah!
