A short ‘Laurel and Hardy’ style slapstick comedy, directed by Morris Burdon with photograph by Doug Collender, about a distracted driver who accidently hits a cyclist with his car. As the situation escalates each man proceeds to destroy the other’s vehicle in revenge all watched on by a local farmer. Title: Redfern Films present Title: Settled Out of Court Credit: Featuring Jack Purvis, Archie Couser and Alan Corder Credit: Pictures and Sound by Doug Collender Credit: Scripted and Directed by Morris Burdon A man comes out of the back gate of a terraced house, gets onto a bicycle and peddles away. A number of colourful balloons are attached to the front of the bike. The man cycles along a country road, following behind him comes a car. The driver is not paying attention rather reading an ‘adult’ magazine laid out on the seat beside him. Nearby a farmer stands chewing on a piece of wheat. Suddenly he looks shocked, two road signs for a bend in the road and ‘Halt’ cut to the car coming around the bend. The farmer closes his eyes waiting on a collision. The driver of the car gets out and sees the bicycle in the road, its front wheel bent. He looks around and under the car for the rider without success. Getting back up he looks up to see the cyclist lays on the roof of the car looking annoyed. The cyclist climbs down as the farmer comes closer sitting on a fence watching the action. The cyclist comes over to the driver and proceeds to pulls the man hat down over his head ripping it. He then proceeds to rip one of the arms of the driver’s jacket. The farmer looks on gob-smacked as the cyclist rips of the car hood. In anger the driver jumps up and down on the bicycles. Both men continue to destroy the other person’s vehicles throwing the pieces into a ditch much to the amusement of the farmer. The cyclist throws out the backseat of the car, the farmer comes over and siting on it. The cyclist then climbs onto the roof of the car with a sledgehammer and proceeds to smash the front window and denting the metal. With the help of the farmer the film ends with the driver pushing the car back along the road letting it roll away with the cyclist still on the roof smashing it with his sledgehammer.
