The film begins with schoolgirls wearing blindfolds lined up in a field. There is then a race of small children. A line of girls step forward in turn to receive a prize, with a watching crowd clapping. As the hand held camera is moved, we see a tent and a car, followed by a girl’s sprint relay race. After a view of the field, there is a men’s race involving sacks, and a tug-of-war. The film finishes with a man and a woman each holding what looks to be a desert on a plate, whilst watching the events.
