President and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson on a State visit to London, England immediately following World War I.
United States President and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson enter an open horse-drawn carriage in London. Mrs. Wilson has a large bouquet of flowers. Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught, enters the carriage to accompany them. Attendants place carriage robes upon the occupants. The carriage proceeds, accompanied by many others, along the narrow streets of London where spectators line the sidewalks and American and British flags cover the buildings and are strung across the road. In various places, British military personnel are seen in formations along the route. At one point, President Wilson, accompanied by senior British officers, reviews a cadre of British troops drawn up in formation. Later, the carriage of the President and First Lady arrives at the Guildhall (71 Basinghall St, London EC2V 7HH, United Kingdom), where they step down from the carriage.

German Kaiser Wilhelm II is greeted by British officialdom at Guildhall, in London, during a visit with King George V and Queen Mary
Film opens with scenes of British Horse Guards on parade along street in London, England, watched by crowds on the sidewalks. Next, an elaborate coach, bearing an image of the Coat of Arms of the city of London, is seen arriving at the Guildhall (71 Basinghall St, London EC2V 7HH, United Kingdom). Footmen step to the coach door, where one places a step stool while the other takes the ceremonial mace for bewigged Lord Mayor, Sir Thomas B. Crosby, who steps from the coach, followed by London Sheriff, Sir Charles Augustin Hanson, and other city officials. Four uniformed trumpeters stand in front of the Guildhall and play a fanfare announcing arrival of a royal open coach carrying the monarchs of Great Britain and Germany. When it arrives, King George V quickly steps from the coach and assists Queen Mary as she alights. They are followed by the King's cousin, Emperor (Kaiser) Wilhelm II, of Germany, who steps from the coach. The Kaiser is dressed in Hussar uniform including fur Busby adorned with Totenkopf (Death Head) emblem. A flurry of activity ensues as the King and Queen and the Kaiser engage in greeting various officials and dignitaries. The Kaiser recognizes a woman, likely a relative, in the group and hurries to greet and kiss her.

Brief montage of moving images from early 20th Century Women's suffrage and equal rights movement in Great Britain.
Scene opens showing the statue of British Women's suffrage movement leader, Emmeline Pankhurst, located in Victoria Tower Gardens next to the Houses of Parliament, Westminster. (This was erected in her memory, in 1930, two years after her death.) A World War 1 parade of women in clothing of religious orders; nurses; some military; and academics. One group carries a banner reading "Demonstrate-Trained Nurses." It also depicts What appears to be an Angel of Mercy and an appeal to buy war bonds. They are followed by women carrying a large British Union Jack, and by others, in academic garb, carrying banners of academic institutions. (This march was probably organized by the "Women's Party," the 1917 group founded by the Panghursts' to replace their "Women's Social and Political Union." The new Party emphasized support for the British war effort.) Scene shifts to suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst viewed from camera behind her right shoulder as she addresses a large crowd. She is standing on a roofed platform in a park-like setting. The audience is mostly civilian, but a soldier is seen here or there. Several London Bobbies are in the audience, close to the speaker's stand. The next scene shows pedestrians gathered near Buckingham Palace, in London. A number of Bobbies (London policemen) are present, some on foot and some on horseback. The Queen Victoria monument is visible in the background. A horse-drawn carriage passes in front of the camera. Next, a woman is seen being arrested by two Bobbies, as passersby watch. An automobile passes and then the woman and police are seen approaching the camera as more officers become involved, keeping spectators away. In the final scene, in the 1920s, a man standing in front of a large group of women, congratulates one (probably Christabel Pankhurst). Closeup shows, from left to right, the man; a somewhat tired-looking Emmeline Pankhurst; and her daughter, Christabel.
