This film by Fred Palin is a short comedy about a man trying his utmost to get rid of a faulty coin. He finally does but there is a twist in the tale. Title: A South Shields Amateur Cine Society Group Film Presentation Title: Production And Camerawork By The Group Who Are Also Featured In The Film Title: Kipper Dip The film opens on a photo portrait of a young woman with the number 18 attached to it. To the right of the photo is a notice which reads: 'God Loves Us All'. Another small note reads 'Work..Is the Curse of the Drinking Class'. The film cuts to two men in white lab coats working on pieces of domestic appliance equipment laid out on a table. One of them calls a colleague over and gives him some money. The man with the money approaches a door and looks down at the coins he has just been given. He holds one up and looks at it carefully. The film cuts to man who gave him the money who is in conversation on the telephone. The young man with the money approaches him and tries to interrupt his conversation. There is something wrong with one of the coins. The man in the lab coat looks at it, puts his hand in his pocket and pulls out another coin. The film fades to the man in the lab coat still working at the table. He looks at his watch,  gets up and removes his lab coat and leaves his place of work. A small notice on the door he leaves by reads: 'South Shields Electricals Ltd. Domestic Appliance Division - Telephone 7096'. The film cutst to him walking along Westoe Road in South Shields past various shops. He comes to a cigarette machine and puts money into it and attempts to retrieve his cigarettes. The draw is stuck, so he can't get at his cigarettes. He kicks it and walks on. From across the street he continues to walks along the road and into a newsagents. He comes out presumably with his cigarettes and walks away. The newsagent appears at the door of his shop and shouts after the man. He runs after him holding aloft one of the coins the customer has just spent. The man exchanges it and continues down the street. The film cuts to a dishevelled man with a walking stick and a notice round his neck holding a tin for collecting coins. The man who has just been to the newsagents, puts a coin in the old man's tin. The old man thanks him. The notice round his neck reads 'Blind', however he peers into his tin, raises his dark glasses and pulls out the defective coin. He pursues the man who has given him some money as he walks across a park reading his newspaper, again the coin is exchanged. The man with the defective coin continues on his way, turns a corner and removes his coat. He continues down the street and unlocks the door to his house and walks in. The film fades to another man walks up to the door and rings the doorbell. He collects money from the man who answers the door. The man who has collected the money walks down the street looking at a coin. He goes back to the man's house and he shows the man the defective coin. Again it is exchanged. However the man collecting the money looks on in horror as his customer is shaving and carrying a 'cut throat' style razor. He backs off quickly and goes on his way. The film fades to a sunny seaside. The man approaches three teenage lads sitting on the edge of a quayside wall fishing. He appears to ask what size of fish they have caught. One of them brings up a fish on the end of his line, unhooks it and puts it into a basket. Another man approaches and buys one of the fish from the basket. The first man also buy a fish wrapped in newspaper as one of the boys who inspect the coin he has been given. Back at home, the man prepares to cook a meal. He opens the newspaper only to find a toffee kipper wrapped in cellophane on a cardboard backing with a message which reads ' A Present From The Seaside' . The fiilm ends with the man looking outraged. End Credits: Those involved were, Derek Mason, Fred Palin, Ken Wright, Fred W. Dunn, Joe Honsby - Directed by Fred Palin End title: The End S.S.
