Men carefully move a Tiling mail rocket from a boat on a canal, handing it up to others on shore. Row boats are seen in the canal and sailboats on the lake (Dümmersee) in the background. The rocket is carefully carried with fins folded and placed on the ground. Reinhold Tiling with his assistant Angela Buddenboehmer, and his mechanic Friedrich Kuhr, prepare the rocket for launch. View of rocket, being held,sitting on its nose. In next scene, the rocket is placed on its launch pole,in the marsh, behind a man sitting in a boat.The launch team raises the rocket.

Following his death in 1933, Reinhold Tiling's work on rocketry was carried forward by his brother, Richard, who successfully worked on perfecting projectile missiles,and especially on improving the explosion safety of propellants, during 1934. A photograph of several rockets is shown, followed by a series of animated design sketches. Slate refers to Swirl nozzle provided with rotating projectile in describing one sketch. Another is described as Richard Tiling's design of Projectile missiles to shoot down aircraft. Richard Tiling and assistants are shown standing over many rocket projectiles in preparation for a demonstration before the Navy and the Army Ordnance Department in Meppen on April 17, 1934 (in which they were shot distances reaching 12 thousand meters).
