Summary
Pathe synopsis: At a factory in Clerkenwell, London, a team of skilled workers have created a new art form - wire models. With only a sketch for guidance and lengths of wire as their material, these craftsmen turn out remarkable lifelike caricatures which, dressed in colourful costumes and mounted in wire frames, make most attractive wall plaques in the contemporary vein.
