This film contains footage of a trip to Jersey Zoo by the Hunslet Boys Club sometime between 1968 and 1969. The club was established in 1940 by Dr. J. Wyllie as a way of offering young people the chance to improve their skills in areas such as sports, crafts, karate, and IT. It was an opportunity for recreation and friendship and the motto was "Fitness for Life". Film opens with a shot of a sign which reads `Paignton Zoo & Botanical Gardens' Two tigers are in a cage; they pace up and down. In the lion enclosure a sign reads `Danny & Elsa-these animals as cubs are the actual animals used in the filming of Born Free'; a lioness paces the cage. There are shots of many animals including: vultures, Andean condor, harpy eagle, Himalayan black bear; a bear paces a tiny cage, black footed penguin; shot of penguins in the water, ostrich, barbery sheep, and goats in an enclosure. There are long eared owls, flamingos, ring-tailed lemurs, and a caged gorilla twirling in circles. A man gives an orangatang water from a jug, and the chimpanzees are fed through their fence. There are more animals including: a leopard and a Brazilian tapur. A young child follows a duck and the final shot is of a man pointing at a picture of a Dodo and talking to a few people.
