Broxbourne Woods, Hertfordshire.
L/S of an unusual vehicle travelling through a country lane. M/S reveals it to be a scooter with a sun hood on top (or as the narrator jokes "a scooter with a fringe on top"). This is also a way of keeping the rain off. The two girls travelling on the scooter are Venia Bottono (a shorthand typist) and riding pillion - actress Julie Alexander. They drive the scooter into a field and take some poles off the back of the bike. These are attached to the frame of the scooter to create the framework for a tent. Narrator observes: "It's so simple even a woman can put it together!"
The girls place canvas over the poles to create a groovy little tent. The girls put some bed bases into the tent then a lilo. End shot shows the girls lying inside the tent on their beds.
The scooter tent was designed by Victor Rosen. Nice little quirky film.
