Film begins with views from a camera in an overhead conveyor at the Ford Rouge River steel mill in Dearborn, Michigan. It focuses on a hot ingot of steel moving through a succession of nine consecutive rollers. Each roller reduces the size of the ingot, until it becomes a long rod of hot steel, many yards long. It is then transferred horizontally, across an array of rails. Change of scene shows another ingot, in a different part of the plant, moving through a set of rollers along the side of factory shop. Next, a hot ingot is seen discharged from a chute. Camera follows as it passes through a series of water-cooled rollers. Long rods of hot steel are then seen being channeled to a converging point on a conveyor, where they flip sideways and reverse course. A new view shows men using poles to guide ribbons of hot steel in and out of rollers. Change of scene shows long ribbons of hot steel being automatically moved along conveyors into large saws that cut them into desired lengths. The ribbons of steel are then moved sideways to an extremely long and wide sort of table, where they are transferred, by devices that keep them aligned and prevent them from breaking or damage during movement.
