Summary

Pathe synopsis: Models Celia Hammond and Sue Gunn have turned cat-catchers in their spare time. It’s estimated that there are thousands of semi-wild cats running riot on building sites throughout London, and Celia and Sue take out a special cat trap - baited with kippers - to catch them for the RSPCA. Trouble is, the girls grow fond of the cats they catch. At the last count Celia had fifteen.
