Four young people sit at a table under bright lights. A referee speaks. The words ‘Battling Tops’ appear above them. The four kids wind their tops. Close up on one of their hands. They place the tops in their positions on a board. The game is narrated like a sports game. They release the tops and they spin into the center of the board. One top begins to topple, it’s owner appears disappointed. We watch the game to it’s finale. The kids shake hands with the winner. A man holds a microphone up fro the boy. Close up of the boy’s hands releasing the top. Wide shot of the boys and interviewer at the table. A picture of the ‘Battling Tops’ game appears in the corner.
