This brief film is part of a collection that records a family from York's trips to the coast and countryside around North Yorkshire. The films were all shot by the Lord Mayor of York's son and are a child's view of these days before World War Two. The film opens with two women sitting on deck chairs on the beach; they are knitting and smiling at the camera. There is a close-up shot of a ball of wool near a bag and then a small puppy appears between the chairs with the wool in its mouth. There are panning shots of the busy beach at Whitby, and a neat line of beach huts can be seen in the distance. The two women start talking and joking to the camera, and then one of the women holds the puppy up to the camera and keeps talking. Following this, two young men play catch behind the women and one of them holds the puppy in his hand. A young woman and two young men stand facing the camera with a stills camera each pointed at the camera.
