The film opens with jockeys being weighed at Kiplingcote Races. There is snow on the ground. A large trailer with a massive (promotional?) bottle on its side, with a label reading 'Bass & Co Pale Ale" can also be seen. Many cars are parked on the side of the road, and more jockeys are being weighed. Jockeys ride horses down the road then gallop back individually.
A cornfield with a plane and Massey Harris 780 combines. (Fairly dark footage.) Harvesters sit having a break before the fleet of combine harvesters are back to work again. Ducks can be seen feeding on a pond.
