Slates at start of film explain that we are going to be shown manufacturing processes inside an automobile plant. Glimpse of a 250 acre manufacturing plant of Studebaker Automobiles in South Bend, Indiana. Inside, overhead conveyors are seen moving ladles that are to be filled with molten iron from a cupola furnace. Closeup of molten iron being poured into a ladle. The conveyor moves the full ladle back from the furnace and others move ladles into position and they are filled too. Slate describes casting of engine blocks. Men in foundry are seen guiding a large ladle of molten iron to pour some into a smaller ladle. Then two men using handles to guide the small ladle, proceed to pour molten metal from it into some green sand molds of engine blocks. Closeup of the molten iron being poured into the sand mold. After cooling for some time, a crane lowers a device to remove the cope from the drag of the mold. The solid, but still smoking engine block is then lifted out of the mold with a chain hoist.
