(B&W) The film begins showing the back of a coach, E J Slater and Son of Elland. There is a line of men leaving a building and boarding the coach. Then a group of men and women form a long line, arm-in-arm, and walk across a lawn in front of a timber framed building. They lark about before setting off again in the coach. The men jokingly push a car, as the group are taking a tour of Hampsthwaite House Farm. Here, a woman looks in on a calf. They again set off in the coach and arrive at the Red Lion Inn where they play outdoor games, such as croquet.
(Col.) There is a parade of various bands, floats, and horse and carts. The Mayor rides in one of the floats, and there is another for the Brighouse Co-op Queen. One horse-drawn cart has the slogans ‘War is Death’ and ‘Peace is Life’. These are followed by children in fancy dress, decorated cycles, and another float for the Brighouse District Industrial Society.
(B&W) A bride arrives at a church for her wedding. She stands in the doorway of the church with the groom. The couple poses for photos before the guests throw confetti over them both as they get into their waiting car and drive off. Then guests arrive at the reception in a building in a terraced street, where a notice on the doorway reads, ‘War is always wrong’. Inside the table is laid for the wedding meal.
The film moves on to a second wedding. The newlyweds leave the church as the guests throw confetti on them. The first couple are ushered out of a building, while the second couple travel in their wedding car.
At a third wedding, the bride arrives at a church escorted by her father. She then comes out of the church with the groom where they pose for photographs with the bridesmaids before walking off and being smothered in confetti as they are about to leave. Here, the film comes to an end.
