Солнечный спутник
Prof. Merrity
Журналисты со всего мира приехали на территорию военно-воздушной базы Великобритании, чтобы присутствовать на знаменательном событии. В ближайшие дни, нет — часы должен состояться триумф британской науки и техники. Учёные разработали и создали летательный аппарат, способный преодолеть оковы земной гравитации и выйти на орбиту Земли с человеком на борту. За основу взят реактивный самолёт, снабжённый усовершенствованными турбинами, форсированным двигателем и современной системой герметизацией. Экипажем, совершающим первый в истории человечества прорыв во внеземное пространство, руководит Майкл Хейдон. Восторг по поводу предстоящего полета не разделяет энергичная журналистка Ким Хэммилтон. Она спрашивает организаторов "за чей счет этот банкет?",но тем не менее, под покровом ночи залезет на охраняемый объект и затаится в трюме космического корабля. А экипажу за несколько часов перед стартом открывают тайну государственного масштаба: на самом деле научная цель экспедиции всего лишь фикция.

The Man in the Road
Prof. Cattrell
A brilliant scientist who has lost his memory is hunted by Communist agents out to obtain a secret formula.
A Man on the Beach
This weird short manages to pack in fraud, murder, alcoholism and transvestitism, with two somewhat obvious plot twists but a acertain amount of interest in the characterisation and mise-en-scene. You can see Losey's long-take style in its early stages. If anything, his filming is TOO articulate, tipping his hand and giving away plot turns before they happen.
A Prize of Gold
Alfie Stratton
A U.S. sergeant, a British sergeant and a British pilot hijack gold for a German refugee's war orphans.
Isn't Life Wonderful!

Записки Пиквикского клуба
Sergeant Buzfuz
Британская комедия, основанная на классическом произведении Чарльза Диккенса. «Посмертные записки Пиквикского клуба» — первый роман писателя, рассказывающий о клубе чудаков, путешествующих по Англии и наблюдающих «человеческую природу». Основатель клуба и главный герой романа — Сэмюэл Пиквик, внешне наивный и смешной, но обладающий истинной человечностью.
The Claydon Treasure Mystery
Executive
"The Claydon Treasure Mystery" stars reliable John Stuart as an engineer (Peter Kerrigan) interested in solving mysteries, who becomes involved in investigating murders at Marsh Manor, home of the wealthy Claydon family. Plenty of suspects to choose from, Kerrigan believes that the murders may be connected to hidden treasure on the estate.
Calling the Tune
Dick Finlay
Calling the Tune offers a fascinating look at the fledgeling gramophone industry as it tries to solve the problems of reliable recording and production methods. 'I predict that the gramophone will be the democratic entertainment of the future' states unscrupulous record label boss Mr Gordon (Sam Livesey), who finally gets his comeuppance after one dirty trick too far against his rivals. If the film's love story is perfunctory, the real interest comes with watching performers of the day, from Henry Wood and his orchestra to George Robey and Charles 'the laughing policeman' Penrose laying down their recordings direct to record. And something very like a prototype laser disc makes a crucial appearance too.

A newspaper reporter sets out to track down the murderer of a policeman.
Checkmate
