Description

The film opens with general scenes from the Muir family. We see the family at home in the house and out in the garden. A woman is helped to ride a bike and men play football in the street. There are then scenes from an anniversary party. The table is laden with food, and people sit around to eat. Some of the guests put on a comedy performance and then there is singing and dancing, including the Hokey Cokey. The guests wear party hats, and the dog is filmed wearing one too. The guests play games, we see them hitting a balloon about and the film ends with scenes of them playing with a hula hoop, with varying degrees of success.
