Summary

Pathe synopsis: At Brixton, London, there is a school of motoring which is probably unique, for most of the instructors are children. The owner’s motto is "Driving Is Child’s Play" and his children fully live up to this belief. All four of them give driving lessons on their private track and most of their pupils are children, but there are grown-ups too who come to them for tuition.
