Beginning of tape has no audio as talk with unidentified man from #54 continues. Nighttime with large bonfire and people huddled around. J. L. Coombs, former TV producer, talks about former shows he worked on. Video has warm and amber tone from bonfire at night. Brief story by Coombs on bombing at Chocolate Mountains is interesting too.
