Sporadic looting and rioting ensued in the following days and more mass demonstrations were planned for Oct 11th.) Film picks up on Wednesday October 5, 1932 as the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) attempt to maintain order. A series of street scenes is shown in which the RUC has begun patrolling. 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. Boys are seen running across cobblestone streets where they have piled up stones for use in rioting. An RUC Crossly tender truck, carrying several police officers, drives along a Belfast street. 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.
