- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: Introducing a new form of sport - "The Sport of Babes", in more senses than one. At a holiday camp [Butlin’s] at Clacton, a few adults revert to childhood by leaping into a pram - and racing round the sports field. After all that, the winner is not the one first past the tape, but the one who can drain a bottle of milk first at the winner’s stand.
