This film features a day out at Flamingo Land Funpark and all its different attractions including rides and animal shows.
The film opens with a Flamingo Land title card. There are boys running around, playing with kites at a camp ground for caravans. Presumably inside one of the caravans, a woman sits at a table playing solitaire.
There is a park passenger train which goes by, and inside the park, the two young boys are locked in the stocks with Flamingo Land logos on the front.
A group of seals, along with their trainer, put on a theatrical show for a large audience. The seals perform various stunts with steps and balls as well as walk and dance across the stage.
The funpark, being home to other animals as well, has a group of baboons which can be seen walking about in their habitat.
There are a few carnival rides at the park including a merry-go-round type of large wheel, a large boat swing, and a roller coaster.
Next is the Dolphin Show. Here, again with their trainer, the dolphins perform different jumps and tricks in the water in front of a large crowd. The children in the front row cheer for the performers at the end of the show.
After a brief glimpse of the Flamingo Land Obnibus and a few ducks in a pond, a tour through a comical jungle display begins. There are statues of different animals like zebras and elephants positioned along the sides of the tour route. As the tour goes on and one goes deeper into the jungle, there is a tourist in a large cauldron over a fire. In the background are warning signs which read, '' Here lies Fred Eaten now dead.'' Statues which are supposed to look like native jungle people are close by to this part of the tour.
Next there is a circus featuring jugglers, animals, and acrobats. Most predominantly featured is a woman who juggles large objects with her feet.
The day ends with a tour around the zoo section of the park. Bears, deer, penguins, lions, and zebras, among other animals, make up the zoo tour.
After the two boys make their way down a large slide on potato sacks, the film ends.
