Frinton


We begin with the Lambert family playing on the beach before moving to Frinton's funfair where Mrs Lambert and her children enjoy a ride on the carousel, followed by a large audience watching a Punch and Judy show on the beach. Back at the beach the Lamberts try their hand at skipping and flying a box-kite. While the children play and swim in the sea we see a speedboat being loaded onto a trailer. The film ends with a shot of members of the Lambert family fast asleep in deckchairs.
