Momentary opening slate (in German) cites a new rocket car, the largest in the world, designed by German chief engineer Alfons Pietsch. Closeup of the liquid-fueled rocket car at the Heylandt factory in Berlin-Britz (Heylandt-Gesellschaft für Apparatebau mbH). The rocket engine is ignited and creates a huge flame behind the car. It travels for a while in the industrial yard of the Heylandt factory until the flame dies. (Note: At the beginning of 1930, rocket engineer Max Valier was given the opportunity to develop a liquid rocket engine at Heylandt in Britz. He was assisted by the Heylandt development engineers Alfons Pietsch, Walter Riedel and Arthur Rudolph, who built the rocket motor in a test vehicle called "hellhound" after Valier's accidental death in May, 1930.) Change of scene shows a rocket car of Max Dalier being refueled from a liquid oxygen tank. Next, the car, with "Heylandt" painted on its side, is seen with Max Valier at the controls, driving about the Heylandt factory grounds, propelled by a moderate thrust from its liquid fueled engine. It circles about the yard several times.
