Film begins showing view from an airplane flying over a forest fire burning in the Los Padres National forest, near Santa Barbara, in California. Next, the aerial view is repeated 10 days later when men and equipment of the U.S. Forest Service have gained access to the burned out area. Scene shifts to an airfield, where a Twin Beechcraft model 18 aircraft is being loaded with a special grass seed mixture to be broadcast over the denuded area to provide protection against floods. The Twin Beech aircraft is seen taking off. Aerial view of the aircraft flying over California hills. Glimpse of the pilot at the controls in the cockpit. His nose and mouth are covered with a mask (to protect from the seed dust inside the plane). More aerial views of the plane in flight and then spraying grass seed over the damaged area.
