- The Flying Codonas, fourth generation of a family of trapeze artists, practice and perform amazing feats high in the air. Close-up and slow motion photography show how it's done.
- The Codonas are a family of trapeze artists on their fourth generation in the business. Lalo Codona is the catcher, 'Alfredo Codona' and Vera Codona being those that fly through the air. The Codonas are seen performing and practicing under the watchful eye of their father, Edward Codona, once a trapeze artist himself. Trapeze is a skill that requires strength, agility and good timing. The Codonas possess all three. Alfredo's most crowd pleasing tricks include a double somersault while blindfolded, and a triple somersault, he being the only person alive that now masters the latter.—Huggo
- Off screen, Pete Smith narrates a look at the Flying Codonas - they are trapeze artists, with an aged dad doing some coaching, Lalo the catcher, Alfredo the world's greatest trapeze artist, and Vera, talented and lovely. First we see practice then we watch the act without life belts. We see passes from a bird's eye view and in slow motion, as well as from a standard side angle. Alfredo completes a trick he's been working on for eight years and shows various other passes that he's the only living person to do. Triple somersaults, triple pirouettes, a double somersault blindfolded, and some nifty three-person passes round out the display.—<jhailey@hotmail.com>
