The first picture shows seven gigantic pachyderms being brushed down, cleaned, marcelled, manicured, etc. by their keepers. The toilet completed, the huge quadrupeds are next seen at exercise, where, at the word of their director, they execute a number of wonderfully intelligent stunts, among which are lying down limp, rolling over, balancing and posing. In the next view two of the largest of the herd are pitted against each other in a ramming contest. A mahout mounted on each beast, they place their heads together and each endeavors to push the other back. The last view given is that of the elephants mounting a gangway to the top of a chute, from which each goes sliding down the way, finally splashing into a pond.

A battle between two forces takes place. There's no information on this 4-minute film aside from the fact that it was available from Charles Urban's Urban Trading Company, one of the most vigorous of British film production and distribution companies in the era. It's a well-composed and edited piece for 1907. The uniforms of the opposing forces, one in dark uniforms and one in white, under battle standards with the Union Jack look good. The field pieces and the medics transporting the wounded are likewise believable, although the compositions, if anything, look too good for it to have been war games; likewise, the smoke from the artillery obscures the action.
