Promotional film of the British Rail Parcel Service by way of illustrating the
story of five different consignments over a twenty-four hour period. These
are a schoolboy in Cheshire being sent a new bicycle; a housewife in Rhondda
Valley awaiting the arrival of a new vacuum cleaner; a man in Lincoln
expecting an insurance cheque; a tourist in Cornwall waiting for his daily
newspaper to arrive at his hotel; and a research scientist who urgently needs
some equipment in Manchester.
