Summary
Pathe synopsis: Meet the champ, a beefy character who’d probably smile at that description of himself. You see, New Zealander Geoffrey Bowen, is the world’s champion sheep shearer and he’s come to Britain to demonstrate his style to British farmers. It’s not exactly high-class hairdressing, but he always finishes up with a one-piece fleece.
