General Futtock invites a motley group of guests to stay at his country estate for the weekend, and chaos ensues

This short comedy is entirely silent, with just a musical score, sound effects and incoherent mutterings to accompany the cast. One of several such ‘silents’ which were popular at the time, this one includes some very good shots of Denham Golf Club station with a blue-liveried Class 115 DMU arriving working headcode 2B51. The station has a ‘Pease Green’ ‘sausage’ totem in the film, but a Denham Golf Club nameboard is visible in the ground level shot of the station as taken from the approach road.

A shot of the fictitious ‘PEASE GREEN’ sausage totem. I’m sure there’s a joke in it somewhere.
And in this final shot from ground level the halt is on the embankment behind clearly displaying its true identity – Denham Golf Club.
