Description

A young girl plays on her tricycle in the garden. Two maids can be seen putting a bench in the garden, a man pretending to be drunk stumbles over to the bench and falls asleep. A car arrives and the camera goes on a phantom ride through the countryside. A woman plays fetch with her dog on the grass outside Hames Hall. A group of adults in the garden act out a variety of slapstick scenes. A group prepare to set off fox-hunting, scenes of them riding their horses through fields. The film ends with scenes filmed from a boat out on a lake.
