We open with shots of a woman (Donna Glyn) grooming a horse called Talbot. George Bond of Bond's Bakery at Congleton provides a commentary about the use of a horse and cart to deliver his products to the local area. Donna rides Talbot who is a Clydesdale from his stables to the bakery where he is harnessed to the cart. Meanwhile we see Mr Bond finishing off in the bakery by filling cream eclairs and sandwich cakes with cream. The cart is loaded with various cakes and breads. We then see Talbot pulling the cart around a housing estate at Congleton whilst a member of staff makes deliveries to customers (a sequence accompanied by music).The film ends with Donna riding Talbot back to his stables at the end of his day.
