Women participating in the life of their community in Monroe, New York.

A woman named Ann Collins is seen in a vacant lot, where she and others of the community work to clean it up so it can be made into a playground. They pick up trash and deposit it in a wheelbarrow that Ms Collins pushes to a 1947 Dodge pickup truck, parked nearby, where it is unloaded. Views of others working with rakes and shovels to prepare the ground. Some trash falls on Ms. Collins as she hands a bushel basket full to a man standing in the back of the open truck. She smiles and climbs into the cab of the truck, which has "John C. Hunter, Monroe, N.Y. Dial 2371" painted on its door. The truck drives away, with two young men steadying boxes of trash in the back. The truck proceeds along a street in the town, past parked cars of the period, such as a 1949 Pontiac sedan. Ms Collins waves from the truck cab as it drives past a street sign reading "No Littering." They pass people lined up outside a polling place, where election voting is taking place.

Elevated railroad trains operating in New York City

Beginning of film shows view from a high roadway of steam rising from locomotive pulling a passenger train uptown on the West side of Manhattan. Some waterfront houses and the Hudson river are seen at the left of the train tracks. Next are views from the first car of a train approaching a station on an elevated electrified train track with several lines of rail ahead. Billboards are seen atop some of the buildings near the train tracks. The camera train moves past an empty train station that displays some advertisements under its platform and more are seen atop buildings near the rail line. The camera train proceeds straight ahead past another empty station. A billboard on a building outside and below the elevated rail line reads: "Leary's Cafe." The train continues Northward on what appears to be the Harlem "L" (elevated train) with multiple tracks. A passenger train passes in the opposite direction. Moving straight ahead, the track splits, taking the train down below the original level (which continues at the upper level to the left).
