Various shots of the Richelieu River near Sorel, 1954. A motorboat crewed by two men pulls a big barge topped with a small pen holding a few cows. Three children at the back of the barge look at the cows through the pen’s fence. Two men stand at the front of the barge, while a third, smoking a cigarette, is at the back, steering it with a long oar. The Sorel lighthouse can be seen. Shots of two men in a launch, removing from water a foldable fishing net with fish. Shots of two men in a launch, removing from water a foldable fishing net with fish. Shot of fish.
