A newsreel story on the one-year-old quads from St Neots, Cambridgeshire.

The year old quads, Ernest, Michael, Paul and Anne Miles are at their home in St. Neots, Cambridgeshire. They are walking, which involves falling down and crying. Ernest rides in a toy car whilst another quad pushes him. One of the quads sits in a baby chair and Ernest is playing with a ball. Four sets of identical clothing are hanging up on the washing line and the quads are in matching prams. Ann combs her hair. An aeroplane flys over, reputedly piloted by the doctor's daughter. Ann stands in her pram as if delivering a speech. Her voice is heard. Ernest is behind the camera and Michael wears the sound recording headphones.
