Joseph Emberton's fascinating film begins in Polzeath, Cornwall where we see various scenes showing the family playing in the sea. From a rocky cliff-top surfers make their way out to sea carrying their boards. Kathleen Emberton is also seen surfing. We next see the family in Blackpool where they enjoy an ice-cream at a Pleasure Beach café. Various buildings designed by Emberton are seen as well as other attractions including a miniature train, which the girls enjoy.
