Description: Opening title: 'Kingston & District Cine Club presents Helen Emmens and Arthur Saward in Ashes to Ashes by AC Saward, directed by Owen Smith, produced by Tony West'. Intertitle: 'We wish to thank our many friends for their cooperation'. Ashtray with a pipe in it. A well dressed man in jacket and cap walks down a suburban road, takes his pipe out and realises he has no tobacco. He walks in to a tobacconist (JE Wright- name of the shop). In the window of the shop is a sign that says 'Tobacco prices up today'. The man exits the shop and walks down the road and arrives outside a sign that says 'Parkers nurseries Hinchley Wood EMB 5432'. The man strolls through the nursery gardens and approaches a man with a pitchfork and appears to ask him a question. He then arrives outside some plants with a sign that says 'Tobacco plants for sale'. The man then exits a shed with an array of plants under his arm. We then see a close up of a magazine titled 'Amateur Gardening, this issue Grow Your Own Tobacco'. Then a switch to the man in his garden planting the tobacco plants, he looks happy at a job well done. Close up of plants in the garden and then the man is seen watering the plants. Fade out and fade in to the man hanging the plants on a washing line and inspecting them. He then takes down some plants and heads to a shed. Cut to a window where a woman is seen looking out. A woman comes out dressed in a pinafore dress, sweeping outside her house, looking towards the shed. She approaches the shed to see what is going on. She's peering into the shed, curious. She screams that there is a fire and someone hears the scream and comes running towards the woman. She now picks up a bucket of water and is throwing it inside the shed. The man exits the shed drenched in water. The man is now heading in to a local pub, he is thrown out because his pipe is producing too much smoke. He picks up the pipe, which is still producing smoke. He is walking down the street with a trail of smoke behind him. Cut back to the garden- the woman is throwing plants away into a bin. She heads into the shed and comes out with more plants. She is now setting fire to the plants, which go up in smoke. Cut to neighbours who have their washing out on the line with the smoke billowing through their clothes. The neighbours join together to complain about the smoke. The pipe-smoking man runs into the garden to see all his plants on fire. He wants into the shed and scoops up the remains of his tobacco. The tobacco he scoops up appears to be gun powder, he puts it in his pipe there is a flash of an explosion and the door blows off of the shed. Cut to the man now laid in a coffin, a woman in black places his pipe in the coffin. The films ends with a sign reading 'Randall Park Crematorium'. Closing caption of the pipe in the ashtray and the film ends.
