The film opens on the sports field of the Newcastle upon Tyne Church High School where girls in green uniforms take part in a number of races.

The film cuts to a group of seven children walking along Harbour Road in Beadnell. At the front is a young boy carrying a flag, and at the rear the oldest boy pushes a toddler in a pushchair. The child in the pushchair waves at the camera. The film cuts to show the group marching in the opposite direction along the road, this time pulling the pushchair with a piece of rope.
