This film illustrates the change between winter and spring in Yorkshire, with a family enjoying a day in York. Intertitle: "From Cold to Gold - as winter merges into spring" "Winter's grey and dreary days are often changed by a mantle of glistening snow - welcomed by the young and energetic!" The camera looks up at snow covered branches. People ski and sled down a snow covered slope. The sun sets over the fields. Intertitle: "Undaunted by the snow and frost, the simple flower spreads her carpet, a stimulating sight." Forget-me-nots cover a wooded area. A child sits down among them, looking up and smiling at the camera. Intertitle: "Though bright the day there's still a nip - a stirrup cup provides the answer". A stirrup cup is the drink traditionally served at the meet before embarking on a hunt. People on horseback are surrounded by a pack of foxhounds. They go through the town, passing the "Old Swan Hotel". People on the pavement stop to watch them pass. The horse riders stop and are given glasses of a red drink before setting off. Intertitle: "At this season the greenhouses offer a most dazzling display". There are shots of people looking round greenhouses full of flowering and non-flowering plants, many shown in close-up. Intertitle: "Golden heads, facing the sun are to be found on grassy banks or by the stream". There are daffodils on the grass slope of the city walls on Queen Street, with York Minster visible in the background. One of its towers has scaffolding around it. There are other views of the grass banks of the city walls. The film moves to Rowntree Park where a woman sits on a bench with two girls. Intertitle: "Streams and ponds, fields and farms, remind us that spring is really here". There are swans and cygnets on the river, different varieties of geese and goslings, including swan geese, and pigs with their piglets on a farm. A little boy and girl feed lambs from bottles. Baby lambs feed from a cow’s udder. Intertitle: "A magnificent display which no other season can boast". There are close up shots of the blossom on the trees, tulips and other flowers, with one of the girls inspecting the blossom. A horse drawn cart carries a couple under the archway. Intertitle: "Masses of blossoms are the order of the day as spring merges into summer". The woman and girl continue walking around Rowntree Park looking at the blossoms and flowers.  The film switches to a back garden where a boy and a girl are arranging flowers on the lawn to spell out "The End".
