This amateur film of Great Yorkshire Show includes much footage of cattle paraded and prize bulls in competition (to @245ft). General views follow of a river in the landscape and old stone bridge. A man mows his lawn in large garden.  At a nearby marquee cattle are being inspected and judged on their qualities and appearance. The animals have numbered labels displayed around their necks and a handler takes each animal around a show ring. A group of cattle to be judged stand in a line. The view changes to bulls as they led around an enclosure. Various businesses advertise their presence at the show with large signs which form part of their display stand. Calor Gas have a show stand. Specialists Toogood and Sons, Seed Growers have a large stand. Osmonds of Grimsby advertise their specialism in sheep and cattle dips for pest control. Hargreaves Coal advertise their product on their stand. Parades of cattle continue for judging; large crowds help to make the show a significant event in the rural calendar. A woman stands next to a prize-winning bull, which has rosettes displayed on its forehead. Packed crowds watch more cattle being led across parade areas. A woman holds on to the head harness of a prize-winning breed of cattle. The film moves on to a view of large stand advertising The British Oil and Cake Mills Ltd, a firm making animal feed. The film leaves the crowds and the show and the view changes to a wide river with a stone bridge in the distance. Dense woodland grows on both banks. A view follows of the same river from a higher viewpoint, hills can be seen in the distance. General views follow of a rural landscape with fields and trees. A closer view of the river and bridge seen earlier follows [intermittent over exposure at edges of frame]. The view then looks down a country road past some whitewashed buildings. The film changes to a domestic scene where a man uses a motor mower to mow his lawn. Three women watch him at work in the garden. More general views follow showing a rural landscape of field and trees which ends the film.
