Summary

Pathe synopsis: The engineering world of Bill Garrett is where Harry Corbett’s puppet friend Sooty gets all his marvellous mechanical aids. Backstage in his Leeds workshop is where ‘Enery the robot sparks to life, Sooty’s pal Sweep gets the full electric works. We also get a chance to see the Sooty Show - something Bill Garrett rarely has time to enjoy - and it really goes with a bang today.
