Three men in evening dress stand beside a piano and sing a jolly song - it seems to be about the pleasures of strolling in the countryside. The pianist also wears evening dress. As the men sing, various footage of idyllic countryside is shown. A pretty girl walks through woodland, a man walks through hilly countryside, countryside scenes, sheep run through the fields, a calm lake, etc.

The pianist has a surprisingly deep voice.
