Description

The film opens with scenes of the Rouse family at home and then we see a Smiths of Eccles lorry on a long distance journey across Europe transporting goods from Metropolitan-Vickers. We see the lorry driving on to a ferry, and there are scenes on board the ferry and around the docks. We then see the lorry going through what appears to be French customs and then they are on their way. We see the lorry driving through the streets of Europe and out into the mountains. There are also shots of the scenery taken from the window of the moving vehicle. The lorry then goes through what appear to be Swiss customs. In the next scenes we see scenes shot from the aeroplane window of a flight back to the UK from Geneva. Finally we see brief scenes from a school sports day.
