Summary
Pathe synopsis: Skeletons by the score at [Educational and Scientific Plastics Limited] Redhill, Surrey - but there’s no sinister mystery about it. These are plastic skeletons for medical students and schools, with extra skulls thrown in for theatrical productions of "Hamlet" and extra feet for shoe manufacturers. But it’s creepy craftsmanship, enabling all sorts of people to have a skeleton in their cupboard.
