Roy Sellen's delightful film starts with a coachload of Sainsbury's employees arriving in Margate. Some have brought babies and children along on the trip. We see them enjoy games on the beach and walking around the seaside town. They also ride the rollercoasters and other fairground rides at Margate's Dreamland venue. The homeward journey is speeded up and we get glimpses of increasing traffic and development as we arrive back in the London suburbs.
