The film is shot at Merrivale Model Village Great Yarmouth. A man wearing a blue shirt looks down on a model village, in another shot we can see children. There is footage of buildings in the landscape including a large green dome and red and white striped tent roofs. It is difficult to tell what is real and what the model is, but it becomes clearer a yellow bucket is seen next to a model house. There is a model running track (Merrivale Stadium) a fairground with moving attractions and a train.
