An amateur record by George Theaker and Peter Dobing of a fun 'It's a Knockout' style contest between local youth club teams taking place in the grounds of Haughton Comprehensive School in Darlington in 1975. Title: Knockout 75 Teams walk out onto the school field. The first team are dressed in red tracksuits, the next all wearing yellow T-shirts, another team are in blue and white. A team all in white carry a banner which reads: Hurworth Y.C. The next team, mainly wearing red tops, carries a banner which reads 'United'. Next a team in mainly yellow tops carry individual banners with single letters on them, S, R and B. The next team, the men in blue and white and women in red represent Darlington Telephone Exchange. A team in blue and white stand in a group on the competition field with their banner from Haughton Youth Centre. A team in red track suits empty water from a large bin to another bin. In one event, a team member dressed in blue and white wheels a large car tyre painted white along the obstacle course. The course involves 'threading' the tyre between two vertical sticks not much wider that the tyre itself. Other obstacles follow as a member of an opposing team wheels his tyre along at speed. One contestant passes her tyre to another team member relay style. Two members from another team pour water from a large bin into a smaller bin mounted on a two wheeled trolley. A contestant fills her bucket from the large bin then runs across to a gymnasium bench, which is acting as a ramp. The ramp takes the contestant onto a trampoline, which she has to walk or run across, presumably without spilling the contents of her bucket, down another ramp where she empties the remaining contents of her bucket into another large bin. Another contestant from one of the blue and white teams and another from a 'red' team both race across the same course. More contestants follow.across the same obstacle course. Team members crowd round the large white bins of water deposited by contestants after they've run the course. A judge measures the depth of water in the bin. The film cuts to another course where the contestants have to manoeuver a hockey ball, using a hockey stick past obstacles. They are hampered by having to wear diving flippers as they run. At the end of the course they have to throw a netball through a hoop. A view across the sports field shows a juvenile jazz band going through its routine. As they approach the camera, the banner they're carrying reads 'Redhall Revellers'. General views show some competitors at rest as they watch others take part in the games. Another water carrying game follows, this time going over a different set of obstacles. One member of a blue and white team climbs through a tyre suspended in a frame, runs to the top of some wooden boxes, jumps off and runs across a narrow wood section of  a gymnasium bench before depositing what's left of the water in his bucket into a large bin. He then runs back to the start, to hand over the bucket to another member of the team, who in turn completes the course. The film shows other teams following on, which also includes another obstacle, a frame with a low horizontal bar that they have to go under before reaching the suspended tyre. Again the water deposited in the bin after the competition is measured, as team members crowd round to find out the result. As team members mill around after the result the bin is emptied of its water. Another game involves team members throwing and catching bags filled with water or flour, then throwing them over a blanket hung over a line. The bags are caught and thrown to other team members on the other side of the blanket. The film ends with general views of other teams who are not competing watching the games. Title: The End
