An amateur film believed film inside Buffs Social Club on Norton Road in Stockton-on-Tees showing men and women chatting and drinking happily together. As the film progresses everyone becomes more and more intoxicated with some singing while other get up to dance. The film also featured a group of then in blacked-up faces performing on stage.
A number of older couples sit at tables set up against a wall drinking and chatting happily. Around the room men and women of various ages also sit around tables drinking and chatting. A man comes over to one table carrying a tray of drinks, some look and smile at the camera as it passes. One man moves his head from side-to-side much to the amusement of those around him. A man holds up a red ticket, another raises his hands for the camera.
A group of men and women in costumes and blacked-up faces perform a song routine on a stage, people continue drinking and chatting.
Two men hold a drinking competition to see who can down their pints of beer the quickest, other men around the room finish their pints. A number of women begin singing and moving in unison side-to-side, one women raises her drink and blows a kiss at the camera. More and more people in the club join in on the singing each bobbing to-and-fro.
Behind the bar two barmaids and a man work to serve customers with a smile, some people begin to dance on a small dancefloor. One man wipes another’s face which still has black face paint on it from the performance seen earlier, another man still in costume and face-paint sits on his knees. An older couple sits nearby, the man puts on a fake beard before kissing the woman. They both laugh. The film ends on a woman sitting beside the man with the partially painted face, they pose together cheek-to-cheek before kissing gently.
