Summary: Colour documentary produced to foster good relations between the Scottish civilian population and the exiled Polish army stationed in Scotland.
Description: Shows a Polish army exercise, Polish troops under canvas, a re-constructed scene of the arrival of mail, a staged social gathering between Scots and Poles in the countryside and fraternisation between Polish men and Scottish women (epitomised by a scene in which a Polish soldier follows a Scottish girl down a hillside, who then romantically sit side-by-side over-looking a loch). A Polish army choir is seen singing in a glen, followed by traditional Polish dancing performed by men and women of the Polish army. The film ends with men from the Polish army marching along a Scottish country road.
