A carnival queen(Miss June Werth(?)) walks down a hospital ward, she is carrying a bouquet of flowers and her cape is carried by two women formally dressed also carrying small bouquets. The carnival queen stops to speak to an elderly woman in bed,(who is her mother) she bends down and kisses her mother, who smiles admiringly at her daughter. The carnival Queen walks back up the ward smiling and waving at the patients. The carnival queen walks outside the hospital accompanied by nursing staff, they are laughing and talking to each other. The carnival queen shakes the hand of the matron and is helped getting into a black limousine by a chauffeur and the two women help with her train.

The ceremony takes place in a park, possibly Raphael Park where the carnival ends.
