Mrs. McDaniel, the present owner, opens the door. There are shots of the acre of apple trees which Adrian Bell helped to plant as a boy, which gave its name to his book. In the village there are shots of the former village store, now a private house and of the former village school. This became a private house and is now empty. In their cottage Jean Goodman and Adrian Bell meet Clarence and Mrs. Scarle, who feature in Apple Acre. There are some shots of boys, one of whim is the Scarles' grandson, picking apples.
