Title: Going Dutch
The film begins with some traditional images of Holland including cows, windmills and a canal from which a man is fishing. In the town of Gouda they look at a steam calliope, a street market and traditional houses built beside a canal. A waiter brings drinks to the family sitting at an outside table. The family look around a flower and cheese market.
The family move onto and look around Madurodam model village in Den Haag near The Hague. At Delft Linda and the children look in on a shop window which sells the famous blue and white porcelain. Linda and the children eat ice cream overlooking a canal.
They visit a village made up of 17th century housing near a river and windmills. They watch a cheese making demonstration and visit traditional cheese market taking place in Edam.
Beside their tent the children and Linda Gough arrange flowers for a festival taking place in the town of Rijnsburg. Displays of flowers are filmed around the campsite on caravans and tents. On their bicycles the children take part in a flower procession. A marching band made up of men dressed as cowboys and Indians pass by. A number of lorries and cars drive past decorated in flowers watched by crowds standing on the pavement .
The final part of the film is of a visit to Amsterdam and begins with a cruise on the canal. The family and other tourists feed pigeons on a cobbled street. There are views of displays of flowers outside a number of shops. Beside another calliope a man shakes a small tin for coins and the film ends with the children dancing to the music.
