Commuters arrive at Woodside Ferry Terminal, Birkenhead. A ferry approaches the terminal. The commuters board the ferry; a man runs to catch it at the last moment. The ferry departs. For the duration of the crossing, the businessmen circle the deck in the same direction. The ferry approaches Pier Head - the Liver Building is visible in the background. The gangplank is lowered and the commuters disembark. The ferry crosses back over the river; the shot then dissolves into the same view across the river at sunset.
