Description: Produced by R.K.O. Van Bueren corporation. "The constant search for food on the desert, indulged in by the animals, reptiles and insects provides the action. The combats and the combatants exemplify the cunning and the hardiness with which creatures are endowed. The lizard rests on the spiny perch of the cactus awaiting his prey. The gila monster prowls the hot sands to stalk his enemy. The monkey-faced owl surveys the slow motion of the clumsy tortoise while the reptiles and horned toads change from time to time to meet the challenges of their belligerent neighbors."
