English eccentric Jack Punter has decorated his garden like a crazy grotto. Various shots of his excellent concrete sculptures and strange bits and pieces. Jack makes a concrete and stone crocodile destined to be a garden ornament. He picks up one he has made earlier and places it by his fish ponds.
