This color travelogue film was shot by Wisconsin filmmaker Norman Schley in March sometime during the 1950s and offers a first-hand account of Schley’s road trip around Florida’s coastal cities, including Major League Baseball Spring Training in Palm Beach, and then some cities in Alabama. A skilled filmmaker from Wisconsin, Schley made a series of amateur films under the moniker "Schley Ride" and/or "Picturelogue." Some of his films aired on television, while others were shown in front of live audiences. This particular account takes viewers along to explore the sights and wonders of major cities in Florida like St. Augustine, Palm Beach, Miami, and Tallahassee amongst others. While many of Schley Ride films are silent, this film is fully narrated by Norman Schley (and his wife) who offers more details and historical background on the site he is visiting.
