Title - Get it labelled. Doncaster Cine Guild production.
In a plush house with lavish wallpaper, a man wearing a suit walks up a flight of steps. He then tries to find the bathroom amongst a hallway of identical doors. A close of a door reveals a label, which says 'This is it'. The man enters the bathroom and closes the door.
There is then a shot of several signs laid out on blue material; the signs have various messages including 'Haxey primary tweed', 'A straight title' and 'Transformer'. There are various shots of signs in and around a city, and a brief shot of 'WH Smith'. There are then shots of a Super sketch and its box, before the filmmaker goes onto show its capabilities by redrawing a larger scale map of Great Britain.
The process of making a sign is then shown; a man initially cuts out an appropriate amount of plastic, using a guillotine, and then sharpens a tool which will be used to make the inscription on the plastic. The tool is then fitted to the supersketch, then the filmmaker shows the template for the sign, which reads 'This is it'. The words are then scratched into the plastic, and the man takes the label from the machine, before a view shows the finished result on the bathroom door.
Another label is then shown being made; the finished product shows that 'E callow' has been etched on a pen. There are then shots of some busy high streets in Doncaster, which have shop such as 'Ratners' and 'Polly'. A final sign is shown being cut out, and the concluding shots show the production teams names, which have all been inscribed on labels.
