This is the first of two clips on diamonds, this one featuring a dog and rooster battle, as well as the Koh-i-Noor and Orloff diamonds. WS of a rooster and a dog fighting, then a LS from the side of the same action as the dog chases the rooster off screen. WS of rooster going after the dog as the camera darts to keep up with the running animals. Cut to WS of chickens eating some feed off the floor. A title card reads, “Million Dollar Rocks”, then a hand opens a briefcase to reveal many large diamonds. CU of the Koh-i-Noor diamond as the VO explains its history. Cut to a desert scene in LS as three men ride past on horses, followed by a small army of men on horseback that seem to be attacking them. There is cutting back and forth between some men shooting near a tent and the oncoming hoard. LS and then MS of a group surrounding an injured dead man. Cut to the CU of the Koh-i-Noor once more. A military man in MS speaks to a crowd, though we do not hear his dialogue. The next shot is a CU of the Orloff in front of a handheld mirror to reveal its size and cut.
