After momentary interruption, the camera pans over the chapel structure. Next, little girls and boys are shown leaving the chapel. Many of them run, happily. They are followed by grownups who could be Sunday School teachers, or the like. They linger and converse at the front of the chapel. Soon older children begin leaving the chapel.
First scene shows a line of new Ford V8 sedan cars parked side by side along the edge of a highway. The closest car displays a sign reading: "Ford, V8 Detroit Police Department."

(The writing is difficult to decipher.) Individual Police officers are then seen standing next to each of the new Ford V8 automobiles, which are lined up along the highway edge, almost out of sight. Then the Police officers begin to drive the cars away, one at a time, successively, in a single file motorcade. Ford Company executives and Detroit city officials pose for a group picture. Harry Mack, Ford's Dearborn branch sales manager, is standing to the left of a uniformed Police officer (who may be James E. McCarty). Mack converses with Police Commissioner John P.
