A short, novelty cinema item created around the garden machinery manufactured by Ransome, Sims and Jefferies Ltd.

Inside the Ransomes, Sims and Jefferies factory, workers are making final adjustments to rows of garden machines. Lawn mowers and rollers are wheeled from the factory into the street. The scene switches to a 'worm's eye view' of a garden, where a man is buried up to his neck in the lawn. A lawn mower is slowly pushed towards him.
