The film opens with what appears to be a grandfather sitting down at a table with his grandson to tell him about the history of Cadbury. Viewers see a field in Bournville, near Birmingham, which is apparently where the Cadbury family built their factory. Illustrations show the evolution of the Cadbury factory at Bournville (01:48), showing the facility in 1879, 1899, and 1932. The presumed father walks into the house and joins the grandfather and boy in their conversation (02:24). The film then cuts to a shot of milk cans being loaded onto a conveyer belt at the factory (02:54). Cows graze in a pastureland. A man uses a portable milker machine on a cow (03:22). There is a shot of a small village with classic English cottages (03:55), presumably the model village established by George Cadbury next to the Bournville factory. Milk is shown running over cooling machines (04:15) and being transferred into holding tanks. A man tests a sample of milk in a laboratory. Milk is condensed as it is heated and mixed with sugar and pumped into copper condensing kettles (05:27). A man opens a valve and condensed milk pours out. The film then cuts to the boy’s mother as she leaves for her first day of work on the Bourn-vita packing floor. At the plant, women pack Bourn-vita into cartons. A man pulls eggs in large crates (06:59). Women crack the eggs into individual cups for examination. A man pulls a cart with milk canisters. A man pours ingredients into a mixer and the resulting mixture—Bourn-vita—is evaporated and put in air-tight tins. Women pack the tins in cartons (08:47). The product is packed in paper-lined tins prior to being packed into cartons (09:04). In a living room, the grandfather talks with his two grandchildren. The film concludes with crates of Bourn-vita moving down a conveyer belt to be shipped all over the world (India, the Netherlands, Argentina, Jerusalem, Egypt, and China) and people from those destinations enjoying the drink.
