A sequence shows a riding display from the Royal Corps of Signals. This features motor cycles and horses. Various routines include trick riding, leading horses from a motor bike, horses jumping poles suspended between two motor cycles, balancing acts and some humorous scenes.The final sequence is of the flooding at Mill Lane, Dedham in 1938.
