Summary

Reportage about an exercise involving two divisions of the military cyclists brigade.

Lively film about a military exercise involving the cyclists brigade: the Schoonhoven division steals chests full of 'gold' from the Zwammerdam division. But the chests are actually full of Kwatta (chocolate). After the exercise is finished, the cyclists rest and eat porridge in Kasteel de Haar, a castle near Haarzuilens. The staff poses on the castle's stable square. They then ride a victory lap on the same square, with a bicycling-riding band and an exuberant brigade of cyclists travelling by car, bike, and on foot. The men applaud their captain.
