What happens

The Song of the Road is a 1937 British second feature ('B') drama film directed by John Baxter and starring Bransby Williams, Ernest Butcher and Muriel George. It was written by Gerald Elliott, H. F. Maltby and Michael Kent, and was made at Shepperton Studios. Like Baxter's earlier film The Song of the Plough (1933) the film examines the effect of modern technology on traditional working practices in the countryside. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
