Summary

Pathe synopsis: The beauty-in-the-bath of the animal world is the seal, so it was inevitable that we should start caring about their figures. At London Zoo they’ve started a slim cure for Milly, their 9-year-old seal, who used to get through a hundred pounds of fish a week without bothering about her daily dozen. The exerciser - believed to be the only one in the world - works rather like the hare at a greyhound track, keeping Milly well and truly on her flippers....
