The film starts with scenes of the children playing rounders, skipping and playing catch in a field and then we cut to the school's sports day which begins with a parade followed by various races, a gymnastics display and girls dancing around a maypole. We then cut to the children in a railway carriage travelling to Skegness. In Skegness we see the children paddling in the sea with the pier visible behind, playing on the sand and riding donkeys. We then see them swimming and diving into a lido and splashing about in a fountain.
