Mix of actual World War 2 footage scenes outside the United States, and dramatized war scenes inside the U.S. Narrator speaks as a U.S. soldier writes a letter to his mother at home, in which he contrasts the hardships of war torn countries and peoples with the relative safety and lack of suffering of the U.S. population during World War 2. Opening scene shows typical American women riding in a bus. One woman, ostensibly the soldier's mother, climbs aboard a bus as another woman steps out of it. A woman visits a friend who says she had to give up her Red Cross work because it didn't leave her time to get her hair done each week. A group of women at a garden party bridge club. Narrator says one of them could not work at a USO canteen because it conflicted with her bridge party. A woman lounging in a garden chair, is claimed to avoid a war job because they are all boring and dirty. A maid serves some hard to obtain foods to two woman at lunch.

A woman picks up her child as she and others run, looking skyward with dread. Air raid sirens sound in the background. A British soldier looks over a scene where Asian people are evacuating from war torn homes. A group of despairing European people. The film creates an imaginary image of and ordinary American woman digging through the rubble of her destroyed home. American women lined up, in front of bomb damaged buildings, to receive one egg a month. Other American civilians lined up to receive a ration of potatoes. Women in England are seen shoveling rubble from the remains of their homes after a blitz bombing by the German Luftwaffe. In Russia many women are seen digging and performing manual labor which the narrator says is labor forced by invading forces (possible slave labor forced by Nazi German forces). Women in Greece clearing rubble. Again, film creates imaginary view of Americans clearing rubble from their destroyed houses and evacuating en masse. Two American women comforting another in front of her burning home. More views of Americans in mass evacuation, carrying their belonging with them. Narrator states children are evacuated first and them film shows scenes of English children being sent to safety on buses. View of Russians evacuating in horse-drawn carts. Imaginary transition to Americans evacuating known local places. Chinese evacuating across a bridge, assisted by British soldiers. More imaginary scenes of Americans evacuating.
