The opening shot shows a BOAC Lockheed Constellation aircraft on the tarmac and a group of people walking towards the camera. We are then on board a boat arriving at a harbour (Nassau in the Bahamas) where we see various moored yachts. On land we see uniformed waiters and a woman with flowers on her head. Further shots of yachts and fishing boats in a harbour and a group of local children pose for the camera. Next we see local women taking part in a beauty contest on a raised platform (on Paradise Beach, Nassau). Street scenes taking in a holiday resort with colonial style buildings follow. We then see children outside the government school at Ocho Rios (we are now in Jamaica), night shots of local people blowing fire and day views of a beach. We briefly see a local musician with a guitar. Another airport sequence with people queuing to board follows before we are in a small boat with some (out of focus) shots of a reef from the glass bottomed boat. Back on a beach we see water skiing.
Next we are in New York for views from the Empire State Building (in poor light) followed street level views of traffic including a sign for 5th Avenue and 42nd Street and people on an outdoor ice rink and a shot of a KLM aircraft at an airport. A title '1953' is followed by further beach scenes (back in the Caribbean) and another BOAC aircraft. After a short section with a camera fault we continue with views of a harbour at Bridgetown in Barbados (Alleyne Arthur rum billboard visible) and more beaches. We then see views of Coolidge Field airport which is in Antigua and views from a plane flying over coastline. We continue with more beach shots (back at Paradise Beach, Nassau). The reel ends with views of the family garden in Leicester.
