Celebrations in Berlin upon adoption (in Weimar) of the new Constitution of the Republic of Germany. A large number of people gather to partake in festivities. Freikorps members parade in uniform, including some cavalry, on horseback. The crowds slowly envelope and mingle with the marchers. Civilians carrying signs move through the throng. Various groups move through the crowds like streams. Finally, the people condense into a huge mass, as seen from a high point above. Celebrations continue into the night. Torches are waved in the dark and a large firework sign announces the flag of the new Republic as Black, Red, and Gold.
Thousands of Communists and sympathizers are seen streaming into Berlin through the Brandenburg Gate or Brandenburger Tor (Pariser Platz, 10117 Berlin, Germany). They walk slowly.

In view from above this, contingent is seen more clearly as it marches along carrying Posters. The next scene shows the crowd with no coherent groups evident. Later, in a scene showing some people climbing atop a monument, Freikorps members are clearly mingled with others in the crowd. People are seen atop the Brandenburg Gate.
