This film shows a group of men working on a production line at the Halifax Mackintosh factory at high speed.
Men, dressed in white overalls and hats, work in the factory. The film runs at double speed. The men mix the ingredients for the toffee in the machines around the room. They then pass the mixture to the men working on the table station where they kneed the toffee in the middle of the room. The three men working at the table station in the middle of the room roll out the mixture in different stages.
One man kneads the mixture at the far end of the table. It is then passed down the table where it is cut in half and rolled out into two rectangles before it is added to a third mixture. The three mixtures are added together and taken away before the process begins again.
