The film shows the use and manipulation of stiff and disabled joints. A medical illustration with captions comprises of a hand drawn image of a limb joint clearly pinned to a notice board. A patient with tuberculosis knee is shown unable to flex their leg fully; an x-ray reveals the damage to the bones. A patient is anaesthetised and has their limbs manipulated and also a Faradic charge applied. All patients are unrecognisable except for one woman who is briefly shown with her arm being flexed above her head.

Opening intertitle indicates that the film is taken eleven and a half years after excision and prosthetic replacement of recurrent osteoclastoma (a giant cell tumour). The first patient is a middle-aged woman and footage is shot with her walking along the path in a park (soft focus and she is hard to identify); she takes the hands of two children. The second patient is a 40 year old engineer; he also walks up and down, bends, stretches and scurries and marches. Then in an interior location he walks up stairs and then down again. The third patient is a male nurse aged 34 and this footage is captured twenty-seven months after his operation. He repeats the exercises of his predeccesor on the film. The final section is of cineradiography of a knee being flexed with the prosthetic implant clearly visible.
