Description

A compilation of scenes from the Wild family. The film opens with scenes from the Grimsargh Field Day. There is a band, dance troupes and people walking in fancy dress. We see brief scenes from the carnival field on the village green. We then see the Wild boys on the farm with their father. One of the boys helps his father rake up the grass for hay, and then we see him petting a donkey and walking a dalmation puppy on a lead. There are scenes with cows, a mother feeds her calf and one of the boys pets the cows. We see a white rabbit eating a carrot on the grass, and then one of the boys performs a magic trick and makes the rabbit appear from a box. We then see holiday scenes from Ffrith Beach in Prestatyn. The three boys ride boats on a boating lake and have fun on the roundabout, slides and other fairground rides. They also play golf and enjoy donkey rides on the beach.
