Bojangles

Synopsis

Night. A deserted New York bar, a lonely barman. A clown runs through the forest pursued by something he cannot escape from. A man enters the bar for a drink and the conversation leads to why he is there, tracking down old schoolfriends with the help of something sinister. Sammy Davis Jr croons away 'Bojangles' on the jukebox as the clown bursts in to the bar and promptly expires. 'Schooldays, best days of our lives - I'm not so sure - When Bojangles comes to call, the time for all apologies is gone, time to admire his sleight of hand.
