Ein 69jähriger Landwirt und Weber webt auf einem zweischäftigen Trittwebstuhl einen buntgestreiften Läufer in Leinenbindung. Die Webkette stellt er aus Leinenzwirn her, als Schußfaden verwendet er schmale, aneinandergenähte Streifen verschiedener farbiger Stoffe. Der Vorgang der Fachbildung und des Webens wird in allen Stadien und aus verschiedenen Blickrichtungen eingehend gezeigt.

    Frantisek Anton is a farmer and a weaver. He weaves a coloured, striped carpet runner an a double-strand treadle loom. First he makes the warp for his weaving out of flax yarn. The tools that he uses are a winch, a spooling wheel, a weaving board, a yarn reel and a warping mill. Then he feeds the warp into the loom. He fastens the ends of the warp onto the warp beam by twisting its ends onto the ends of the previous warp which is still in the loom. Then he pulls the warp between the two shafts and the weaving comb, turns it around the breast bar and fastens the front end of the warp onto the take-up beam for the woven cloth. After he has done this he weaves the carpet runner, which is several meters long. He uses narrow, multicoloured strips of cloth which are sewn onto one another for the woof. These strips are wound around large spools with the spool wheel and are layed in a shuttle. All the steps and various aspects of the training for this craft and its practise are shown in detail. After cutting-off the carpet and removing it from the loom the ends of the warp remain in the loom for the next job.
