Percy Nightingale's remarkable film opens with elderly and portly members of Crawley's Bowling Club playing on a municipal green, whilst constantly puffing on pipes and cigarettes. Occasionally, they lark about for the camera. Meanwhile, the adjacent tennis courts are busy with women of all ages, playing singles and doubles matches while dressed in the tennis fashions of the time. Percy returns to filming the antics of his bowling mates for the remainder of the film.
