Summary

Pathe synopsis: Motorists pulling into the East Midlands Service Station at Walmington, Northamptonshire, usually run into a jumbo-sized surprise. For there, Baby, a circus elephant, helps to pay the cost of her huge appetite by dispensing petrol. How - you’ll just have to find out. But we’ll tempt you further by saying she’s a breakdown specialist too.
