M/S of a display stand at the British Toy Fair in Brighton, East Sussex, showing boxes of 'The Visible Man'; a man comes into shot and picks up one of the models - a small plastic figure with a full skeleton inside it. C/Us of the model in his hands as he examines it, then as the man replaces the figure we can see the box mounted on the wall behind him, then tilt down to show the standing figure and all the pieces of skeleton spread out on the table. C/Us of the bones, the man's hand picks up a spine, then a pair of feet bones; at another angle we see more bones and organs and he picks up a foot in extreme C/U.
M/Ss of a stand showing doctors' and nurses' kits and outfits then C/Us of a Merit 'Junior Doctor' set mounted on the wall; open bags show very professional-looking sets of instruments; a closed 'District Nurse' bag. The commentator says "...youngsters of today are becoming so knowledgeable that little short of the real thing is acceptable". C/Us of a pamphlet called 'The General Properties of Matter', then various 'Home Scientist' sets packed full of equipment.
