They tell of the economic benefits of pursuing the seal fishery, but also of the hardships involved, commenting that most of the sealing is done on the Quebec side which can mean as much as eight hours travel time. Foreign draggers are a problem. Prices are better on the Quebec side than in Newfoundland. Several women are interviewed, speaking of the difficulty of the work and the worry when the men are gone for days at a time. The film has no credits and none of the participants are identified.
