The writer sketches three sections of Animal The III with seasonal notes and chapters involving resurrection, the Boat House, the colonel, Prankster, Jauqeline and Muscle Beach. An action draft follows Animal from work and pay to Prankster's former quarters under the pier.
The writer records Prankster's death beside a desert/outer-valley-lights caption and proposes cuts between Animal and men in the Boat House. The writer ends with The Thrill of the Dance and After, while several marginal connections remain unsettled.
Headed 'Sketch' and 'ANIMAL THE III', the page divides twelve chapters into three sections with seasons, from 'I SLEEPING BEAUTY -- spring' to 'XI RUN OF ENDING DREAM', and drafts a scene in which 'Animal gets off work' and 'Decides against a drink and goes under the pier'.
The plan ties each chapter to a season and ends with Prankster's death and Animal running north. Handwritten place names and one name in the scene draft are uncertain.
