A two-engined plane is seen crashed nose down into "snow". There are about 11 motion picture employees working about. One can see expanses of "snowy" terraine, with San Gabriel Mountains showing above sets. Printed on plane are words: PIERCE+RONDELLE ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION. Ray Ramuz, who lived across from Arcadia County Park area where this was filmed, said that the "snow" was bleached corn flakes.
