Reportage about the matches in the challenge cup held by Edam’s Sport Comité.

The football matches for the challenge cup held by Edam's Sports Comité (ESC) were followed by fans young and old. The reportage shows the Edam football field, in a spacious polder area. The teams E.V.C. (from Edam) and K.F.C. (from Koog aan de Zaan) pose for the camera. During the breaks, the audience enthusiastically waves at the camera. A police officer keeps the youngest spectators off the field. After the matches are over, the camera focuses in on the silver cup.

Compilation film about Heerenveen.

Compilation of a few short items about the city of Heerenveen. The items were probably assembled in subsequent years by a distributor or exhibitor. We see:

• Footage of the carnival in Heerenveen. Much attention is paid to the assembled audience, who at the end of the item are invited to visit the Witte Bioscoop in Heerenveen. This film was presumably produced by this cinema. Local films like this one were often produced during the early years of film.

• Harness races in Heerenveen, and the horse market in Oudeschoot on Whit Monday.
