Summary
Pathe synopsis: ...the spit-and-polish brigade at Billingshurst in Sussex, where a collection of old engines is maintained in immaculate working order by Paul Adorian and his staff of garage mechanics. When they get a call to action it is like watching a modern-day version of the Keystone Cops.
