News reporter John Doyle is on a working holiday taking his Volkswagen Camper to some of Devon and Cornwall's seaside resorts. He arrives in Lynton in the Exmoor National Park and takes a trip down to the seaside at Lynmouth where he visits the Rhenish Tower. The resort made international news in August 1952 when the River Lyn burst its banks and what became known as the Lynmouth flood destroyed houses with twenty-five people losing their lives.
