United States MCU man in straight jacket stands in front of a group of men mostly in business suits. He turns round to show he is strapped in. MS straight-jacket man lying on ground w/ his feet tied to a bar which is in turn attached to a rope; other guys' legs all around him. MLS the man is dragged away feet first along the ground by unseen means - probably an automobile. Tracking shot from another vehicle driving beside the man as he's pulled along the road, according to titles, at 40mph! More tr. shot of the guy thrashing about as he is dragged at high speed over the surface. MCU man, now released, grins and rubs his head, brushes dust off his clothing. | |
