Opening scene shows six women standing atop sheaves of wheat piled high on a threshing machine in the Pontine marshes of Italy. The Italian flag is displayed above the pile. A man sits on the pile with a camera, taking photographs as Benito Mussolini climbs a ladder to the threshing floor platform, where several men and women await him. Mussolini is dressed in military jack boots and breeches and white cap. But he has removed his jacket and is in a shirt sleeved shirt and neckerchief, ready to work. As he reaches the platform, everyone, including a large group assembled around the threshing rig, raise their right arms in salute. Mussolini momentarily removes his hat to don goggles,and then replaces it backwards with the bill to the rear. He gets right down on the threshing floor to start work. Camera zooms in on him kneeling on the floor stuffing sheaves of wheat into the thresher, as women nearby untie the sheaves and hand them to him. Later, Mussolini is seen descending the ladder to join officials and farmers standing on the ground. He then walks slowly away, followed by the entourage. Next, the camera zooms in on a woman's hand, displaying the newly threshed grain in one of many bags. She raises up handfuls of it and lets it fall through her fingers. Mussolini posing with a group of women and men, smilingly asks an approaching man to step back to allow the pictures to be taken.
