John Louis recalls his career so far as he joins the King's Lynn team.

At a table indoors, John Louis signs the contract for his move to King’s Lynn Speedway. He is then seen chatting with the reporter Tony Jones as they go out to the snow-covered speedway track. Asked about his previous experiences at King’s Lynn, John Louis recalls a race he dearly wanted to win, where he ended up crashing and lying on the ground, but he says it was always good and that King’s Lynn is one of the best tracks in England, if not in the world. Back indoors, he repeats the signing of the contract for the camera. John Louis summarises the secrets of his success. Martin Rogers, King’s Lynn promoter, explains why the Lynn fans will accept him.
