Vera Martins introduces the protest about PPR and Kinni Kansara describes the Daily Mail's article entitled 'Scandal of the Brides for Sale'.

The film also covers Rahala's public meeting at Longsight Library, the picket at Manchester Airport and the vigil on Slade Lane, Levenshulme to protest about the injustice of the Immigration Law and the PPR.
