A little boy scout has found himself in a real fix! His kite has ensconced itself up in a tree, and now he must take upon himself the adventure of fetching it; and once the fetching has been accomplished, to finally allow himself back on his feet on the ground. <br><br>

The short film is an endearing glimpse into this one very eventful afternoon in the life of an even more endearing protagonist. Like a feline creature, not devoid of his tricks and training as a scout, he finds himself at a spot low enough to climb, but high enough to daunt his spirits on the way down. The narrative captures all of this in a lovely manner, allowing the film to succeed in its simplicity. It is further coupled with a complementary background score, a notable edit and an efficient employment of its young cast, all of which ensure a smooth final result of the film.
