This film is a scrapbook of a Sheffield family at home, at an event in Endcliffe Park, with friends and watching the University Student's Rag Parade along the High Street.
A man and a woman walk around their house with their son into the garden where the son, in school uniform, plays football. The man and woman pose for the camera in the garden. The boy rides down a street on his bike. The boy then plays football in the garden with another boy. An elderly woman walks through the garden and the boys are joined by another boy. A group of five boys are then running and playing around the house and garden. One of the boys in a red shirt jumps up and down in front of the camera.
There is a sign for an event in August in Endcliffe Park, including horse jumping, a ride for children, animals and lots of marquees. Two boys are riding cycles, one a new racer, along a path in a park. They pump up the tyres on the racer and a man has a go on it. Two men and a woman stand in front of a garage, and a boy arrives at a house in school uniform. The film shows bees feeding on flowers in the garden.
Next the film turns to Sheffield Town Hall and people sat on benches in the Peace Gardens. A girl walks into a garden and examines some mushrooms growing on the lawn.
Intertitle Presenting the Fabulous Worths
A young girl of about ten years old poses for the camera, and a boy pushes another boy in a wheelbarrow, which is has a pram hood over it. Two girls and the boy feed the boy in the wheelbarrow cider from a bottle, who then pretends to be drunk. The two girls walk past the camera and the boy is in the kitchen with his mother. The boy is then out in the garden playing with a balsa wood model plane, watched by an elderly woman in a hat.
Next a crowd line the streets as a procession, probably the University Student's Rag Parade, going along the High Street led by a band. There are large model animals, and a student on a float makes faces to the camera. There are a number of floats, including one float having a re-enactment of Ben Hur. They pass the shop of 'Stewart and Stewart'. A banner reads: "A piper a day won't keep Mr K away". A float goes past with students dressed as pirates; another student has a chicken outfit on. A group of students go past dressed as playing cards, and the film comes to an end.
