Androcles and the Lion puppet show snippet. A family attempts to get to a Wellington performance of a puppet show - they get a puncture and arrive too late. They decide to go to Levin to see the next show. The puppeteers (The Tortoises) travel sedately in their old car followed by the family (The Hares) who meet with a nasty accident.
