What happens

Alf's Button is a 1930 British comedy film directed by W. P. Kellino and starring Tubby Edlin, Alf Goddard and Nora Swinburne. It was written by L'Estrange Fawcett based on the 1920 novel Alf's Button by William Aubrey Darlington, which had previously been filmed in 1920. The film features some singing and dancing sequences in an early colour process, which is believed to be Pathécolor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
