William Burroughs, wearing a broader-brimmed hat than I've ever seen him pictured wearing before, knocks on the door of a house. A man with a sort of skipper's hat and a mustache answers the door and invites Burroughs inside. Burroughs is next seen in what may be the man's back yard. He inspects a caged parrot. The man comes out with a bottle of something for them to drink. Burroughs looks at the parrot some more, and there are some close-ups of the parrot. There is no dialog or sound; this is probably just an 8mm home movie. There's no indication that he's there to buy the parrot, and we never see any money produced.
