There are scenes from a baby show and of the Carnival Queen, Catherine (Kitty) Jacobs. Rossi’s ice cream shop features and there is a shot of the girls employed there lined up by the door. A street scene follows with a variety of vehicles and then fairground some shots. These include many rides and the Kursaal dance hall.
