Although liquorice is no longer grown in Pontefract - the sweets are still made here. We meet with Tom Dixon who's family had the last commercial liquorice farm in the town. He tells presenter, Geoff Druett, how the plant came to grow here and its commercial usages (besides sweets it's also use in medicine). The film ends with a visit to the annual Pontefract Liquorice Festival.
