A safety film intended for young audiences, Snow Angels delivers a visually powerful warning about the dangers of playing in roadside snowdrifts. Scenes of three children building tunnels in the snow are intercut with images of the ominous approach of snow-clearing equipment. The youngsters, oblivious to anything outside their playworld, are unaware that the menacing blades of an enormous snow-blower are inching nearer and nearer. A deep rumbling noise alerts the trio and they scramble out of the path of the machine, shaken by the realization that they came perilously close to disaster.
