Description

A boy (John Hughes) rides his bicycle home, as soon as he gets home he reads his motorcycle magazine. His mother tells him to do his homework, he pretends to study but really carries on reading his magazine. He even reads the magazine in bed before he goes to sleep. The film then cuts to scenes of John competing in the Championship Scramble event a Hatherton Hall Farm in Cheshire. Back at home, Mrs. Hughes presents a trophy to John. But then, Mrs. Hughes wakes up a sleeping John - it was all just a dream!
