U.S. Quartermaster Corps salvaging war materiel during World War II, in Italy
Film opens showing a burning building collapsing during World War 2, in Europe. A burning U.S. millitary vehicle on a street explodes. Another one catches fire and black smoke billows from it. American troops gather in the area, along with a truck, a jeep and an ambulance. Next, a bulldozer driven by a U.S. soldier, is seen moving debris from the scene. Then a large salvage depot is seen, with huge pieces of metal and parts stacked in it. Camera pans across the acres of materials, as it follows several soldiers walking along a path in the depot. The materials seen include pieces of American and German airplanes and armaments. A so-called mop-up crew of a Quartermaster Salvage Company is seen driving in a truck along a highway. They pull up next to the hulk of a crashed airplane. They pick up gasoline Jerry cans. They raise remains of a knocked out tank, by means of cables. One soldier is seen picking up personal military gear. A mop-up crew uses a derrick to retrieve parts of destroyed railroad cars. A soldier retrieves abandoned small arms near a river, as another fishes military clothing from the river, itself. Trucks are seen carrying retrieved items along a road to the depot. Two trucks enter the depot. One carries several German airplane wings. Several loaded trucks are directed to areas of the depot where they are to dump their loads. Views of the depot show how similar items are relegated to the same parts of the depot. Rubber tires are stacked in one area, and aircraft parts in another. Heavy trucks and tanks are seen being transported into one section of the depot.

U.S. soldiers in the textile repair section of a Quartermaster Salvage Depot, are seen sorting military clothing of all types to be recycled an reissued, or otherwise used as rags for cleaning purposes. Workers from the local populace are hired as paid employees in these salvage operations. A woman removes bundles of used army uniforms from a horse drawn cart and gives them to children who carry them to other women and children who are seen working on various levels of a building, where they mend and otherwise repair and restore the garments. A man works at a sewing machine on the ground floor of the building. But the women and girls seen are all engaged in hand sewing. Scene shifts to a section of the depot yard where tents are being examined, sorted and repaired. Large tents are suspended from a crane to facilitate inspection. The next scene shows interior of a mobile repair shop designed for the Signal Corps, where soldier technicians work on electrical and electronic equipment. A soldier repairs an SCR 536 (better known as handy talky) and an Army Technician fourth grade (T/4) works on an SCR-508 mobile Signal Corps Radio. He tests each tube and connection. A Staff Sergeant removes parts from a BD 72 field switchboard. Outside, several local civilian men employed by the Depot, are physically salvaging useful items, such as brass knuckle joints from metal tubing. Another pulls worn copper wire from an armature. Elswhere in the yard, soldiers and local helpers salvage lead plates from old storage batteries, where they are melted down over a fire and poured into old army helmets, serving as improvised ingot molds. A huge collection of spent artillery shells covers a vast area in the depot. They are loaded aboard barges and brought to ships for transport back to the U.S where they will be repacked and reused. Soldiers collect unserviceable tires for reshipment back to the U.S. Soldiers inspecting a pile of tires. Soldiers inspecting rubber tubes and checking them for leaks. A pile of inflated tire tubes left to sit awhile before being inspected. Outside the infantry too repair shop, soldiers repaint pick mattocks and set them out to dry. Using tools they invented, two soldiers remove wooden handles from shovel blades and from ax handles, in the infantry shovel repair department. Inside the building, soldiers are seen repairing stoves in the stove repair department. One ignites a stove and checks its flame. In a corner of the shop, a worker repairs gasoline lamps. Several are seen illuminated. Soldiers hammer out dents in mess kits and use compressed air and stone molds to take dents out of canteens. One disinfects mess gear by dipping in a lye bath and then in water and repeating that procedure again. He hangs them in the sun to dry. At one spot (where no smoking is written on the wall in Italian) a soldier works repairing 5 gallon (Jerry) gasoline cans using air pressure and water immersion to detect any holes. A jerry can is brazed by a worker using an acetelyn torch and rod. A warplane is seen crashing in flames. Signs advertising salvage as savings, are seen in various places. Salvage trucks and cranes are seen along with glimpses of salvage crews at work. A cartoon sign by a destroyed building shows a GI with ax holding Hitler's head. It reads: "Behead Hitler. Turn in Salvage." Another cartoon sign shows a girl and reads: "You will bet back to me sooner, if you turn in your salvage." A GI whistles in admiration as he passes the sign to pick up two discarded jerry cans. He salutes the sign as he walks away.
