A British guest on labor exchange program visit spends his last day as a house guest of his counterpart American's family, in Los Angeles, California. He is seen with the father in their living room with two children, while the mother prepares dinner in the kitchen. The children are sent to bed and the men and the wife, named Ellen sits down to dinner with the two men. The British guest waves goodbye to the family at their doorstep. Scene shifts to another of the British labor exchange visitors leaving the family where he had been hosted in a different city. Next, the four British labor exchange visitors are seen seated opposite representatives of American labor organizations including the American federation of Labor (AFL), the Congress of industrial Organizations (CIO) and the Railroad Brotherhood. They had met them a few weeks ago when they first arrived in the U.S. One of the labor representatives asks them about their impressions of America. They uniformly praise the effectiveness of the U.S war effort, extolling the efficiency and productivity of her war plants. One of the commenters calls for more international unity in the labor union movement. A spokesman for the American labor representatives expresses need to support the United Nations movement. Film closes showing the four British exchange visitors boarding a U.S. Army Air Corps C-54 transport plane to fly them home to England. They are checked in by an airman who wears a leather jacket with the Air Transport Command logo on it. The aircraft is seen taking off and climbing out over hangars at the airfield.
