This 1960s home movie begins with fantastic scenes of the Baskett family dancing the twist. Friends and family members gather at an outdoor party, and everyone, young and old, partakes in the popular dance. The film also captures a trip to New Braunfels, featuring views of an impressive open spandrel bridge, possibly the Guadalupe River Bridge.
