The collision of several coaches results in a scene of mayhem on a city street as the coachmen brandish their whips, much to the horror of their well-dressed passengers. As a result of the collisions, two vendors and their wares are thrown on a third vendor, all tumbling onto the sidewalk in front of the corner shop "Peter Thump Gold Beater". A workman carrying bricks up a ladder is also in peril. Gold beaters in the corner shop look on while continuing their work. On the right two dancing dogs continue their performance

Outside the Maidenhead Inn a crowd of travelers pile into an already overcrowded coach. Two large women push an obese man up the ladder into the carriage which is already filled to capacity; the passengers inside cry out with distress at the sight of the man being pushed inside. Two couples who have climbed on top of the carriage embrace as do other couples surrounding the carriage, waiting to board. The inn's sign advertises "Entertainment f[or] man and horse".
