We start at Fulking, in West Sussex, where a ploughing match is in progress. A pair of Shire horses are coupled up to a plough and with the farmer guiding the blade, they cut neat furrows into the ground. The farmer then poses with his horses before we move to the windmill at Shipley. There follows a series of shots showing exterior and interior views of the working mill, as well as glimpses of the machinery that drives the windmill's sails and views of the village beyond.
