L/S's of Ben Dova (real name Joseph Spah) wearing a scruffy suit and top hat standing on the top a New York skyscraper. L/S of the man comically leaning forward on the edge of a skyscraper and pretending to nearly over balance. As if that wasn't bad enough he then proceeds to climb a bendy lamp post which he rocks back and forwards. M/S's and L/S's of the lamp post bending so far back that it over hangs the building ! High angled shots of the traffic passing by far below. M/S of Ben Dover performing another crazy stunt by hanging from the lamp post by one hand.
