This is a film by Charles Chislett of a family motor trip through Norway, Sweden and Denmark, accompanied by their mascot, 'Pluto'. Title - Bergen to the Baltic 'The story of a motor trip through Norway, Sweden and Denmark'. Intertitle - 'Viking Melk' The film starts with two men loading luggage onto a roof rack of their car (reg. HJG 109) before setting out. They are waved off by their wives. Intertitle - Tyne Commission Quay Their car arrives at the dock where a ship is moored next to the Bergen Line building. The car joins a queue of others which are being searched by customs officers. They board the ship, 'Venus'. A tug boat, 'Impetus', tows them out. On the journey over, passengers sit on the deck. A small rubber model of the Disney character 'Pluto' is comically clinging on to the rigging. They journey along the coast, filming other ships and boats, finally arriving at Bergen harbour, where they drive off. Intertitle - Lets look down on Bergen They take a tram up the hillside and look down onto the town down below. School children take an interest in their camera. Intertitle - Grieg lived near Bergen and much of his music was composed in a tiny chalet overlooking the lake The lake and the chalet are shown, and the view of the lake from Grieg's desk. Intertitle - We are due to sail for Alesund at 10.30pm A crane lifts their car onto a ferry in the evening dusk. Intertitle - Early next morning They take a long trip along the coast, showing the atmospheric sky as the sun goes down. A boy has some fun with Pluto. As they approach Alesund Harbour, people are grouped on the dockside to meet the passengers. A small girl peers over the side. Their car is unloaded from the boat, the 'Hakon Jarl'. There are a couple of advertising posters, for 'Viking Melk' and 'Copals' 'Batlakk'. Mist descends over a lake and there is a rainbow. Intertitle - Morning in Andalsnes Mrs Chislett looks down onto the village from their accommodation, with mountains all around. They pack their luggage into the car, watched by Pluto, and filled up with petrol. Mrs Chislett and a boy accompanying her pick some berries near a lake. There is a sign for 'Vengesdalen Bompenger'. They arrive at their next destination, a wooden hut in a mountain valley. Mrs Chislett fetches water from a mountain stream. They light a fire and have their evening meal outside looking at the scenery. The family go for a walk, crossing a river. Intertitle - Next day we take the road to Valdal They arrive at the Grand Hotel Bellevue, from where an American forces family are departing. Pluto looks on. They drive through a valley, stopping to look, Pluto as well, at the misty mountains, the fast flowing rivers, waterfalls and the long and winding road. They stop for lunch at the Trollstigheiben Restaurant. Mrs and Mrs Chislett walk along a road. At Valdal they board a ferry. The boy and Pluto walk up a steep snowy bank. They film the hotel at which they are staying. Intertitle - Inland to Eastern Norway and Oslo They pass more lakes and mountains, shrouded in mist and clouds. Pluto takes a tumble. They stop near a river. A goods train goes past. On another river timber is being floated downstream. They arrive at a small town, with children playing in a playground with swings and roundabouts.
