British Pathe synopsis: "Pillow fighting used to be the prerogative of boys.

Pillows are being thrown from the building to the girls below. They throw them back. High angle shot of the crowd of girls whacking each other with pillows.

M/S of more girls fighting. "What would mother say if she saw her dear daughter now!" C/U of girl covered in feathers.
