Title - Fair time.
The film opens with close ups of toys that are being sold on a stall in the fair. Kids then fly past the camera as they ride on a revolving swing set. There are then shots of other attractions which include a music stand, a coconut throwing game, a ring toss, and a merry go round (with boats) for small children. Someone then throws a ball into a bucket and wins a stuffed toy.
People then spin round very fast on a more adult version of a merry go round. A ride with many lights called the octopus is then captured, and the filmmaker captures many shots of this ride. Another ride with two inverted swinging arms is shown, before an expansive view of the fair from a raised position. A dart stall is then followed by a shot of two women in trench coats eating chips. Someone then puts money into a fruit machine and which spins and flashes.
There are then shots of dodgems and a stall with a sign that reads 'Hamburgers and hot dogs'. Several women work in a stall and one woman makes a hot dogs and cooks on a grill before handing it to a customer. There is then a shot of children on a carousel ride. The following shots show rides including a helter-skelter and Ferris Wheel lit up with multi-coloured. There is also fast moving ride called 'Crows', before more views of the dodgems .
A man with a trilby sits in a booth selling tickets to a flea circus. There is then a large sign which has the 'Abominable snowman' written on it. Shots of a candy floss stall; a father buys candy floss for his daughter. Then a man throws balls trying to knock over all the skittles. More shots of different rides all well lit up. The final shot shows a woman buying some sweets.
Title - The end.
