This short film from RKO is about the Florida State University gymnastics team--which apparently was the NCAA champs quite a few times during the era in which this was made. It consists of the athletes performing gymnastic stunts for the cameras. A few things of interest to note is that there is no mention of women's gymnastics, the poor execution of some of the feats compared to today (especially the dismounts) as well as how very good some of the routines are. The film is silent with narration. Generally the narration is pretty good but a few times the writer tried to get cute and the jokes fell flat. Overall, not a terrible film but one I wouldn't rush to see!
