Following the intertitle: "Earl Brownlow and other speakers", we see various speakers at an outdoor recruitment event attended by a large crowd who cheer. Another intertitle: "Scenes in the market and pleasure fair" is followed by a slow point of view shot (probably from a moving vehicle) through a crowd passing fairground rides. A final intertitle: "Recruiting staff and some of the recruits" and the film ends with soldiers and recruits standing outside a building.
