On an extremely hot day in New York City, a man decides to go to Coney Island to cool off. Vignettes show that first, he has to ride on a stuffy streetcar through Brooklyn, then he stands in a long line for the bathhouse, next there is a thunderstorm, after that is a sweltering ride on the subway, and finally he arrives at the comfortable confines of home. Caption: The combination of a hot day, a sizzling mortal and the Isle of Coney.
