The film starts with exterior views of the Borough's flagship health centre at Spa Road, followed by the Gardens and Beautification Department. It is explained that this department was responsible 9 years prior to the film being made for planting 7000 trees in the borough - an extraordinarily foresighted campaign to greenify the borough. There are point-of-view shots taken from the front of a vehicle along pleasant empty boulevards, passing the occasional car, cart and pedestrian. Next, the well-tended public gardens are shown in full bloom. In the parks, play areas have been devised and a playground with swings and other equipment is shown teeming with children. A hard-surface area is shown with young men playing cricket. Fairby Grange, the council's estate, is shown where saplings are grown and plants are propagated in greenhouses (it is noted that this reduces the council's costs). The Borough's Electricity Department is then profiled with exterior and interior views of the machinery and switchboards of the distributing station at Neckinger. There is also a showroom displaying 'modern' electric lighting and other equipment. An intertitle explains that there is a scheme to loan out electric cookers as well as help and support in using the equipment; a female council employee wearing white overalls is seen demonstrating a vacuum cleaner. We then move onto the Baths and Wash-houses under the control of the Baths Committee. The facade of an elegant building, the swimming baths, is then seen and inside a man dives into the pool. Facilities for laundering are available to the public for 2 pence an hour; women are seen folding clothes.
