The staff and management of the famous firm of cleaners and dyers, Pullars of Perth, on a works outing to the 1924 British Empire Exhibition in Wembley, London.

Show full synopsis

Pullars was one of the major employers in the town of Perth. The film was screened in the town's cinema, where many in the audience would recognise themselves on the screen or see friends and family who worked for the company. The shrewd cinema manager would be well aware of the publicity value of such a film in ensuring good attendances at his picture house.
