This brief film is part of a collection that records a family from York's trips to the coast and countryside around North Yorkshire. The films were all shot by the Lord Mayor of York's son and are a child's view of these days before World War Two. Film opens with shots of the family house in York surrounded by trees. A dog stands in a doorway barking at the camera. A woman's feet and hands can be seen standing beside the dog, and when the camera zooms out, it reveals a woman in what appears to be a nurses uniform. She holds tightly onto the lead as the dog barks and struggles at the camera. The final shot is of a young girl standing in the garden posing for the camera. She is then replaced by the dog that lies down on the spot.
