Japanese General Baron Sadao Araki speaks, and animated maps show danger of attacks on Japan and its occupied territories.

Film opens with closeup of Japanese general, Baron Sadao Araki, speaking. Behind him is a huge Japanese flag so that his head is silhouetted against its huge red ball. His image fades out and a map of Japan and Asia appears. Sadao Araki continues to narrate. The map shows animated arrows directed from Russia southward toward Japanese held Manchuria (Manchukuo) and from India northward. The arrows converge and are joined by arrows from the sea. All are directed against Japan. The message clearly speaks to need for Japan to be ready to protect against attacks by others. Back to closeup of Baron Sadao Araki speaking. Then flags of world nations are shown with Japan's rising taller and larger than all the rest.
