A special sheep show was held in Melbourne at the time of the Olympic Games, and to further publicise the wool industry a large party of foreign journalists were taken on a tour of sheep studs which included Canberra, central Queensland, Alice Springs and Broken Hill. The film concludes with the Wool Fashion Award of 1957.
