William C. “Bill” Smith of Oregon Educational Broadcasting, who hosts and narrates this group of programs, takes youngsters on a day’s jaunt to an Oregon “egg factory,” a dairy farm and a dairy manufacturing plant to show them that, though milk, butter and eggs still come from the same old reliable sources, the ways which they are processed have changed considerably. On a farm where 100,000 laying hens produce enough eggs in one day to feed cities the size of Schenectady; New York; St. Joseph, MO; and Kalamazoo, Michigan, we see how eggs are gathered, cleaned and graded, and sent to market. On the dairy farms we see modern milking methods and milk being transported to a manufacturing plant. Processes involved in bottling milk and making cheese are seen, and the ice cream bar section is visited.

Questions a woman's right to terminate pregnancy in the first three months through legalized abortion. Points out that increased accessibility to abortion would decrease the number of unwanted children, many of whom presently become socially maladjusted or mentally ill. Opposes legalized abortion in that the embryo is a human being, even though it cannot independently sustain life, and that often women only "think" they want an abortion. Emphasizes that most abortions are sought by married women.
Shows that the traditional life of the Polynesians of American Samoa is being altered and challenged by its governing authority, the United States, and that a potential conflict exists between the western goals of education which stress independent thinking and the cultural values of Samoa which emphasize obedience to the family and respect for authority.
A Rolls-Royce pulls up to a curb. The chauffeur gets out of the car and walks over to the window of the back passenger. He hands him some clothes. We see as the chauffer starts walking away that he's going into a laundromat. He puts the suit in a machine closest to the front window. The passenger of the vehicle is reading his newspaper leisurely and looking out to see the progress from the window. We see a new perspective of the passenger, he's wearing a shirt and underwear. When the chauffeur exits the laundromat the passenger becomes happy and expectant. The door is opened to the car and he is handed his suit. He starts putting it on, now with a cigar in his mouth. The chauffeur moves back to the driver's seat and begins to pull away from the laundromat curb. An announcer talks about Barney's wash-and-wear suits and their suit variety.
