Continuation of #109 with Putt-Putt and Mother. Video quality isn’t real strong in here because of fluctuating auto iris on camera. Putt-Putt talks about people salvaging bombs from the bombing range, man who lost his jaw (James Landress), people who drop off pets and $2000 ring from the “Chief.” Putt-Putt’s tales are interesting (and graphic at times), but quality of video image leaves a lot to be desired at times.
