The film opens showing a map of the area before a sign for 'Newton Stewart' comes into view. There are shots of a quiet country village with small cottages and a river running through it.
Cyril walks through the village. He passes a woman who is getting water from a pump outside a house. There are then views of the countryside hills there are few trees, the grass is brown.
At the local beach, two young girls row in a boat. The camera then captures lots of small rock pools and the flowers that grow in the surrounding area.
There is a sign for the State Forest Cairn Edward Forest. This is followed by shots of a large field which is filled with small fir trees that Cyril inspects. He then walks along country roads before he visits a yard that has a large fishing net hanging up. Lobster pots are stacked on the ground.
He then visits a small village and walks along the surrounding paths and along a stream. The film closes at dusk and shows the village and countryside bathed in a red glow.
Title-The End.
