The film is constructed as a montage of Wolverhampton scenes with an audio track consisting of interviews and comments about life in the town (particularly in relation to migration to Wolverhampton). We see: a young woman walking around the town including the new Mander Centre; workers in a foundry; the manufacture of locks at the Chubb works; the livestock market and a slaughter house; an engineering works (Yale?); a group of Hells Angels riding motorcycles; and two statues in Wolverhampton Art Gallery (one of Gandhi and the other representing a Black Country working man). Three individuals who have moved to the town are featured prominently (and captioned): bus driver Bob Wegrzynski (from Poland); shop keeper Balbir Singh Sidhu (from India); and steel works manager Tom Ewing Stewart (from Durham). During the sequence featuring Wegrzynski we also see a Sikh bus driver putting on his turban and several shots of buses in the town.
