(Background to the next section of film: In Ireland a so-called Outdoor Relief Strike, supported by the Falls and the Shankhill united, Catholics and Protestants, was launched by the unemployed of Belfast. On Oct 3, 1932, 60 thousand attended a torchlight meeting at the Customs House in Belfast Ireland, to protest relief levels. Sporadic looting and rioting ensued in the following days and more mass demonstrations were planned for Oct 11th.)

Officers are seen patrolling in Lancia armored car No. 105, with a machine gunner on top. Another Lancia armored car (No. 33) patrols near a park at the corner of Stage Street, Belfast.

View of an empty street where piles of stones and slates obstruct the roadway. Pedestrians appear to be going about their daily affairs as usual. (The primary mischief makers seem to be youths.) Final scene is that of a funeral. (In the course of the week's troubles, two of the rioters were shot dead by the RUC.) A horse-drawn hearse carries at least one. But behind it is a group of pallbearers also carrying a coffin. The street behind is filled with masses of mourners.
