Description

This short film shows a 'Mr. Horton' walking back and forth semi clad from the waist down demonstrating his walking ability in the Walking School. After several sequences of the man walking in real time, this is followed by slow motion sequences (more faded than the previous ones). On a small platform and sitting on a chair to demonstrate his use of a (presumably Hanger-made) prosthetic leg to replace his own missing left leg.
