Various locations of events.
Several shots of brown bears in an enclosure at a zoo. They growl at us and sit on their hind legs. Two have a bit of a fight. Commentator makes lots of use of the double meanings of the word 'bear'. (Could be Prague Zoo in Czechoslovakia?)
We then see a thrush sitting in her nest on a windowsill in a block of flats in Prague. We see the eggs in her nest, then some tiny chicks. Another bird has nested in the middle of a wreath that has been hung on a crucifix in a graveyard or cemetery. The bird (looks like a bullfinch) feeds its babies.
At Gravesend in Kent we see various shots of men in naval uniform on a 'ship' that is actually built into the top of a house overlooking a harbour. A man with an eye patch seems to be the owner and captain, known as Long John Silver. He is a London businessman from Monday to Friday but on weekends he goes on board his 'ship' and forgets that land and London exists (sounds like a good idea). Shots in the 'ship' show several figureheads, model ships and nautical gear, plus fish swimming around in a porthole tank. Long John Silver's friends look about and are treated to a tot of rum.

WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
