An amateur film begins with crowds visiting the Newcastle Quayside Sunday Market where the United States destroyer Willard Keith is docked. The film changes to show men working at a rural sawmill and ends with views around Galgate and Market Place at Barnard Castle. Crowds walk along the Newcastle Quayside passing several market stalls, the Tyne and High-Level bridges in the background. A stall holder wearing a bowler hat and waving an umbrella speaks with animation to customers standing around him. Moored along the quayside is the Allen M. Summer-class destroyer the USS Willard Keith, a United States flag hangs at the stern above the ships name. Members of the crew walk across the deck, someone sits in a deckchair reading a newspaper. At a rural location two men work in a yard beside a barn or sawmill splitting pieces of wood and timber using hammers and chisel as well as an axe. One of the men works with a third younger man at a circular saw cuts the pieces into smaller sections. At Barnard Castle two boys ride past crossing Galgate along which cars, caravans and stalls are set up. A group of girls walks past, a man walks past ‘H.F. Young & Son’ on the corner of Galgate. On Market Place the Butter Market and the west tower of St Mary’s parish church, a phantom car ride down Barclay’s Bank and through the town where the film ends.
