One Oclock A Liverpool Cameo (1932)

Liverpool. Every good (and bad) Citizen of our Northern Seaport knows of the 1 o clock time gun watches and clocks galore are set by L, S of a rural scene cows in a field. Low angle shot of a strange building with large domes. M, S of man inside this building operating machinery. It is presumably a place where the time is set. L, S of a cannon on top of an emplacement. In the distance the Liver Building can be seen. The cannon is loaded. C, U of man standing beside some kind of timepiece. He flicks a switch (presumably to let the cannon operator know that it is one o clock. ) The cannon is fired. M, S of group of men looking at watches and timetables. Elderly men in some kind of nonmilitary uniform. C, U of them checking their fob watches (rather a nice shot). C, U of two men on the deck of a ship checking their watches. L, S of the Liver building. To the good Liverpudlian, the world seems to stand still as the fatal seconds pass by M, S of men with timetables. Far and wide
