An einer abseits gelegenen Pumpstation tauschen Buschmänner und ein afrikanischer Beamter Handelswaren aus: Häute und Gegenstände aus Straußeneierschalen gegen Tabak, Eisendraht und eine Feile.

A group of bushmen and a woman approach and enter the enclosure of an African government employee's house at a remote pumping station. They carry their wares which they trade against tobacco, wire for arrowheads, metal for spearheads, and a file. After completing the deal they drink water, rise and return to their home in the bush.
