Amundsen-Ellsworth arctic polar flight, in airship Norge, gets underway from Spitsbergen, Norway

Norwegian explorer, Ronald Amundsen steps from the Byrd expedition aircraft (Fokker F-VII Tri-motor airplane, the "Josephine Ford") with navigation instruments in his hands. These are gifts from Lieutenant Commander Richard Byrd, to assist Amundsen and Ellsworth on their imminent arctic flight aboard the airship Norge. Byrd in Navy uniform, and Michael J. Brennan, U.S. Merchant Marine, Captain of the SS Chantier, follow Amundsen out of the airplane. Byrd joins Amundsen and they converse briefly. Then Captain Brennan examines some charts with Amundsen. Byrd holds a special sun compass invented by Albert H. Bumstead, chief cartographer of the National Geographic Society, and explains it to Lincoln Ellsworth, who then takes it in hand and manipulates it. Next event shown is on morning of May 11, 1926, as Byrd and Bennett take off, in the "Josephine Ford," in front of the parked airship, Norge, to provide a courtesy escort for the airship as it gets underway. Their plane is seen flying overhead as ground crews prepare the Norge for departure. Next, the Norge is seen rising vertically from the ground. Viewed from the Kings Bay dock the Norge is seen aloft in the distance. Aerial view, fairly close, of the Norge underway (presumably taken by Byrd, from his airplane).

Film opens with scenes of British Horse Guards on parade along street in London, England, watched by crowds on the sidewalks. Next, an elaborate coach, bearing an image of the Coat of Arms of the city of London, is seen arriving at the Guildhall (71 Basinghall St, London EC2V 7HH, United Kingdom). Footmen step to the coach door, where one places a step stool while the other takes the ceremonial mace for bewigged Lord Mayor, Sir Thomas B. Crosby, who steps from the coach, followed by London Sheriff, Sir Charles Augustin Hanson, and other city officials. Four uniformed trumpeters stand in front of the Guildhall and play a fanfare announcing arrival of a royal open coach carrying the monarchs of Great Britain and Germany. When it arrives, King George V quickly steps from the coach and assists Queen Mary as she alights. They are followed by the King's cousin, Emperor (Kaiser) Wilhelm II, of Germany, who steps from the coach. The Kaiser is dressed in Hussar uniform including fur Busby adorned with Totenkopf (Death Head) emblem. A flurry of activity ensues as the King and Queen and the Kaiser engage in greeting various officials and dignitaries. The Kaiser recognizes a woman, likely a relative, in the group and hurries to greet and kiss her.
