Our film starts with a group of young men, in drag of course, and women collecting for Rag Week. We next see the same funsters on Brighton Beach, swimming, sunbathing and generally larking about. We get great views of the Palace Pier from above and below, the visiting crowds on the beach and later on fishermen hauling in their mackerel catch. In colder weather we see older members of the club going for a dip in heavy seas while being watched by other club members wearing overcoats.
