Curator’s clip description

A young couple enjoying an afternoon outing are alerted to a suspicious object travelling downstream in the valley below. It is a felt hat. Curious to see more, the man looks through his binoculars along the riverbed to witness a man, standing over a body, disposing of what appears to be a gun. The woman goes for help while her boyfriend stays to search for the culprit.
