Summary
Pathe synopsis: The lighthouse on Portland Bill no longer guides ships from danger - it’s home for a group of ornithologists who particularly study the migration of birds. With all mod cons, the lighthouse is ideal for the purpose. Its gallery, after all, is a room with a view on the "cheep".
