A television musical based on the short story by M. Twain. The King of Siam sends a gift - a white elephant - to the Queen of England. Inspector Blunt is responsible for the animal's safety. However, he has strange desires that are closer to him than his duties...

An oddly rhythmic and balletic tape emerges from the juxtaposition of an elephant lumbering around his enclosure at the zoo and elegant music by Stravinsky. 　　Filmed at Ljubljana Zoo, Slovenia. Tango: Igor Stravinsky
