Percy Nightingale's snapshot of a family at leisure in the 1920s starts with tennis at Eastbourne's Devonshire Park. The courts are filled with players of all ages, with several cloche-hatted women players serving and volleying. We then see golf players accompanied by friends and family, in the Downs above the town. Two women are seen lighting up cigarettes and enjoying a smoke. The family tour the area in period cars, visiting nearby villages and beauty spots.
